Great-Granddaughter
Writes-
The portrait of my ancestor is... a resurrection... a homage, and we thank you for having so well understood his soul, and presented it with such fidelity. You have perfectly brought out all that can be an example for the young men of the present time... you grasped the family habits of the epoch, using its picturesqueness to make my great-grandfather live again. -Mme. Paul Montariol, Paris.
The St. Vincent de Paul BULLETIN, Dublin-
...beautifully written... and a most attractive and warm- hearted study of Ozanam... The outstanding incidents of his life become more vivid than ever before under the author's sympathetic and imaginative treatment. In particular, the very natural dialogue... gives an insight into his character that cannot always be gained from more conventional works.
The CRITIC, Chicago-
Ozanam's personality is clearly depicted and his two-fold apostolate is fully portrayed. Mr. Derum has succeeded where earlier historians of Ozanam have failed... it is refreshing to have him revealed as convincingly human...
The PILOT, Boston-
The book... has captured the spirit of Catholic charity in action... It can well be classified as a blueprint for the laity... in an age similar to that of Ozanam's era. It should be read and treasured for it is proud proof that we can have good Catholic literature.
