Madelaine Delbrel
Madeleine Delbrêl (1904-1964) was a French Catholic author, whose works include The Marxist City as Mission Territory (1957), The Contemporary Forms of Atheism (1962), and the posthumous publications We, the Ordinary People of the Streets (1966) and The Joy of Believing (1968). She came to the Catholic faith after a youth spent as a strict atheist. She has been cited by Roger Cardinal Etchegaray as an example for young people to follow in "the arduous battle of holiness."[1]
