Dorothy Day was an American woman with a dream of changing the world. She lived a life of promiscuity and drinking as a writer in New York City, considering herself a free-thinking bohemian. She had an abortion at 22, which she regretted all her life. Feeling disillusioned, she moved to Staten Island where she fell in love and had a daughter out of wedlock. Then, God began to stir her heart. She met a nun who ran a community kitchen at the local Catholic church. Both Dorothy and her baby, Tamar, were baptized.
