Dorothy Day: Radical Devotion introduces readers to the amazing life of Dorothy Day, reviews her impact on the church and peace and justice movements, and provides an informative understanding of the process of canonization.

"Dorothy Day is certainly deserving of a lot more attention... This engaging graphic biography succinctly tells of her remarkable life of faith and service and adds another impetus to her eventual beatification and canonization."
--His Eminence, Cardinal Timothy Dolan, Archbishop of New York

"This is a remarkable and bold book by Paulist Press... It is a treat to read, to own and share; to leave open on a particularly lovely page."
--The Tablet

"The graphic novel, as it turns out, is the perfect medium to convey the nuance, power and multi-dimensionality of Day's legacy... Most essentially, Radical Devotion offers an invaluable compendium for those who want to learn about Dorothy, warts and all, while also learning about what made her so important: her radical devotion."
--National Catholic Reporter

"The artwork by Christopher Cardinale is vibrant. The colors are saturated, pulling you into the story. The details cause the eye to linger, and I found myself wanting to search each page for more... [The] openness to the complexity in Dorothy's life works to create a compelling story and also stays firmly away from any, as she might have called it, 'pious pap.'"
--New York Catholic Worker

"The text and dialogue narrating the book are solidly crafted and impressively informative, contextualized by historical notes, so that even those well-versed in the CW movement might learn something new."
--Houston Catholic Worker

"There are many great books about Day and Maurin and the movement they started, but this book serves as an easy and enjoyable introduction to who they were and what they did... It is an accessible biography of Dorothy Day and her journey from political radical to deeply religious Catholic."
--National Catholic Register
