The Edmundite Center for Faith and Culture presents “The Apostle to Alcoholics Anonymous” by Dawn Eden Goldstein on Tuesday, Oct. 17th at 4:30 p.m. in the McCarty Arts Center Recital Hall.

Dawn Eden Goldstein is an American Roman Catholic author, journalist, and songwriter. She was formerly a rock music historian and tabloid newspaper headline writer. Prior to 2016, she wrote under the pen name Dawn Eden. Goldstein became the first woman in the University of St. Mary of the Lake’s history to receive a Doctor of Sacred Theology degree. Around this time, after years of writing under the name “Dawn Eden,” she reclaimed her birth surname, as reported in the Chicago Tribune. Goldstein’s fifth book, Father Ed: The Story of Bill W.’s Spiritual Sponsor, published by Orbis Books in November 2022, was a biography of Father Edward Dowling, SJ. Publishers Weekly called it “a powerful take on an often overlooked spiritual influence on Alcoholics Anonymous.” The book won a 2023 Christopher Award in the Books for Adults category.
