Much of her writing, teaching, and lecturing centers around struggles of belonging and alienation with regard to faith, particularly among young adults and especially with regard to young women. She loves to ask Big Questions (Why "are" we here anyway?) and delights in discovering the many possible forums in which to dabble with the stuff of faith, religion, spirituality, and gender.
A regular contributor to "The Washington Post/Newsweek" s online panel On Faith, the religion webzine "Beliefnet", and "Publishers Weekly", she has also written for "The Wall Street Journal", "The Washington Post", "Christian Century", and "School Library Journal", and she has appeared as a commentator on NPR s "All Things Considered". Her books also include "Becoming a Goddess of Inner Poise: Spirituality for the Bridget Jones in All of Us" and "Save the Date: A Spirituality of Dating, Love, Dinner & the Divine".
Born in Rhode Island, Donna received her B.A. in philosophy and Spanish from Georgetown University and her Ph.D. in religion from Catholic University. She has been a professor at Boston University and at Hofstra in New York. She is currently splitting her time between Barcelona and New York and writing full time. Donna describes herself as an ardent feminist, a Catholic despite it all, an intense intellectual, and a fashion devotee all rolled into one.
