Dearest Sister Wendy ...

A surprising story of faith and friendship

Sister Wendy Beckett and Robert Ellsberg

“For the last three years of her life, Sister Wendy Beckett corresponded on almost a daily basis with her friend Robert Ellsberg, a publisher best known for his writings on Dorothy Day and other saints. What followed is a rare treasure in the annals of spiritual literature—a moving, humorous, profound exchange about themes that mattered to them both: holiness, suffering, love, joy, and the things that make us human. This is a beautiful and profound book.” –James Martin, SJ
