Rosemary Haughton was born in 1927 of a Jewish-English mother and an American father. Her mother was the novelist Sylvia Thompson. Brought up in England, Rosemary's education was patchy due to the war. She studied art in Paris, and in 1948 married Algy Haughton, with whom she would raise ten children and a number of foster children. Rosemary began writing, at first children's books, and then for adults on theological subjects. She gained a reputation as a theologian and has received five honorary degrees from colleges and universities, including the University of Notre Dame. In 1967 Rosemary began to lecture widely and has given workshops and retreats internationally. Her interest in small local communities lead her to Wellspring House in Massachusetts, a community that is committed to a mission of hospitality and shelter for homeless families, and the development of innovative projects for low-income housing and education. Her books number thirty-five, including The Transformation of Man, The Catholic Thing, The Passionate God, and The Tower that Fell. She has also written a number of children's books.
