She wrote numerous articles over a period of several decades for the prominent lay Catholic magazine \u003ci\u003eCommonweal. Hold Nothing Back\u003c\/i\u003e is gleaned from those writings. It includes reflections on her life as a single mother, her time in jail for civil disobedience, her struggles to keep the Catholic Worker movement she cofounded afloat, and her travels on crowded buses to report from the front lines about labor disputes, racial inequality, and poverty. At the heart of whatever Day wrote lies a profound and prophetic faith. \u003ci\u003eHold Nothing Back\u003c\/i\u003e--a new, abridged edition of the previously published \u003ci\u003eDorothy Day: Writings from Commonweal\u003c\/i\u003e--gives a glimpse of her remarkable humanity and endurance, and of the vibrant spirituality that underlay them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePatrick Jordan (1944 - 2025) served as the former managing editor of \u003ci\u003eThe Catholic Worker\u003c\/i\u003e.
