    Selected Bibliography

    Part combined biography of Dorothy and her daughter Tamar, part memoir of growing up with these two matriarchs, written by Dorothy's youngest grandchild. Hennessy takes us from Dorothy’s vibrant, fast-paced, and often tragic young adulthood in revolutionary New York City through the founding and maturation of the Catholic Worker movement and the last years of Dorothy's life, when she began to slow down and hand over what she had created to the next generation.


    Writing retrospectively, Hennessy is able to speak about the first decades of the Worker in a way that Dorothy herself could not in her published writing from these years. The community often lived in squalid, substandard housing, and some of its members were unstable and vicious. Dorothy’s ability to consistently locate beauty in these circumstances was both a grace and a carefully honed spiritual skill; many faced with the same conditions would have seen only the bedbugs and addictions.
