River of Fire by Helen Prejean
The revelatory, intimate memoir from the author of Dead Man Walking.
illuminating and candid * Los Angeles Times *
Sister Helen Prejean, CSJ, a member of the Congregation of St Joseph, is known worldwide for starting a dialogue on the death penalty. After witnessing the electrocution of a condemned man in a Louisiana prison in 1984, Prejean wrote the bestselling Dead Man Walking and set out, through storytelling, to bring citizens close to the hard realities of government killings. Her mission has taken her to every US state and to the Vatican, where her personal entreaties to two popes helped to shape Catholic opposition to the death penalty. When not on the road, this lifelong Louisianan loves to share Cajun jokes, eat Southern cooking, play spirited card games and write, exploring her fascination with the Divine spark she believes is in everyone: to seek truth, love ardently, and meet, head on, the suffering world.
