All the Way to Heaven: The Selected Letters of Dorothy Day [Day, Dorothy, Ellsberg, Robert] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. All the Way to Heaven: The Selected Letters of Dorothy Day Review: Far more than I expected - We tend to think of saints (and those in process) as perfect. Reading Dorothy Day's letters shows her passion, her uncompromising values--which are, half the time, not what you expected, regardless of where you "sit" on the spectrum--and her oh-so-human foibles. I set about reading this to see how a social justice warrior who is authentic Catholic enough to be on the road to sainthood dealt with the anger of helplessness against worldly evil while also remaining detached. I got far more than I expected, and I am better for it. Review: She sets an impressive example to others to follow in caring for others and especially the poor. When reading a lengthy biograph - Dorothy Day was a most interesting and charitable character. I felt so drawn to her as I read books about her. She sets an impressive example to others to follow in caring for others and especially the poor. When reading a lengthy biography of hers it brought tears at the end to have "known" her through the book. While I include this note with this particular book which I actually have not read yet I can just say that I look forward to reading more about Dorothy Day and am glad to have the opportunity to read this book also. She is truly an inspiration

Far more than I expected
We tend to think of saints (and those in process) as perfect. Reading Dorothy Day's letters shows her passion, her uncompromising values--which are, half the time, not what you expected, regardless of where you "sit" on the spectrum--and her oh-so-human foibles.

Dorothy Day was a most interesting and charitable character. I felt so drawn to her as I read books about her. She sets an impressive example to others to follow in caring for others and especially the poor. When reading a lengthy biography of hers it brought tears at the end to have "known" her through the book.

This is a long book, of many letters.
It's a good read, to see changing decades of a woman, with her life and those around her. Besides the CW, the dealing with her daughter, the father of her daughter, the wars of the 20th century, the 50s, the 60s, etc.

Modern Day Saint
Dorothy's letter s show what an enigmatic woman she was. She disagreed and agreed with the best of them and held her own. May her cause for sainthood reach completion. She was one of us.

Primary Source
This is a primary source of Dorothy Day's thinking. It is long--perhaps too many letters covering similar thoughts but it is direct line to her personality and spirituality. Great resource that eliminates someone's interpretation of Dorothy Day's life.
