with Paul Elie and William Sessions on our local NPR station this morning. Good stuff, although I have mixed emotions about reading someone else's prayer journal that wasn't meant to be published. Apparently, the original is only 22 pages - the published version is 112, with notes, introduction, facsimiles of her pages and the transcription. Brief. Found bundled in some other papers in 2002 by Mr. Sessions. Written during her year at the University of Iowa when she was in her early 20's.
