Dead Man Walking

An extraordinary journey

When I first saw the movie "Dead Man Walking" in 1996, I was so overwhelmed that I walked out of the theater in a daze, and it took me about 10 minutes to shake that feeling and return to earth.

The same feeling gripped me this morning when I finished re-reading Sister Helen Prejean's 1993 book "Dead Man Walking," which inspired the movie.
