Book Overview

My Father's World is a memoir written by Thomas Merton's daughter, Margaret Rice, about her relationship with her famous father. Thomas Merton was a Trappist monk, writer, and social activist who lived in the mid-twentieth century. The book details Rice's childhood memories of her father, who was often absent due to his monastic life, but also deeply devoted to his family.
