Tumbleweed

by Eddie Doherty

A revealing look at the motivations behind this amazing woman -- as seen through the eyes of her husband, journalist Eddie Doherty.

This is Catherine de Hueck Doherty's adventure-packed life story--the story of "God's own tumbleweed, blowing through the world, wherever the breath of the Holy Spirit may send her."

Eddie Doherty vividly portrays Catherine's early life in Russia, her harrowing escape to freedom during the Revolution, her life as a refugee in North America, and finally her call to live the gospel in the lay apostolate and her founding of Friendship House, precursor to Madonna House.
