Summary:
Furlong's work is the first comprehensive account of Merton's life and achievements. She draws on a wealth of previously unavailable material to reader's beyond the public image of the ascetic saint into his spiritual struggles self-doubts, conflicts with authorigy, and courageous social stands. What emerges is a dramatic, richly detailed portrait of a figure who succeeded in modeling a search for meaning and an authentic way of life.
