Sister Mary Jean Dorcy, O.P., was a Dominican nun born in 1914 at Anacortes, Washington. After completing high school and upon beginning her college education at the University of Washington, she became a novitiate of the Dominican Sisters of the Holy Cross. She later became noted for her works as both an artist and an author, enjoying both activities equally. Besides the popular St. Dominic's Family, her other written works include Carrying of the Cross, Fount of Our Joy, Mary My Mother, and Shrines of Our Lady. Sister Dorcy died in 1988.
