Thea Bowman was a black girl born in civil-rights-era Mississippi who joined a convent of white Catholic sisters in Wisconsin and went on to inspire millions of all faiths and none. She fought prejudice and sadness and brought joy to others even during her struggle with cancer and long after her untimely death in 1990.
"Such a rich and loving life as Thea Bowman's certainly needs to be talked about! Here you will get all the beautiful stages of her extraordinary life. Read, and be transformed yourself!"--Richard Rohr, O.F.M.
