Host a Dead Man Walking Study Group!

Sr. Helen Prejean was teaching GED courses in a housing project in New Orleans when she agreed to become a pen-pal to a death row inmate. Almost twenty years later, large audiences still gather to hear her story - a tale of humanity, love, and mercy.

Walk with Sr. Helen on that journey. Through her international bestseller, Dead Man Walking, Sr. Helen will educate you about the death penalty system in the United States, and will put a human face on those who are condemned to die for their crimes.

Dead Man Walking is a perfect choice for your book club, your class, or your study group. Sr. Helen's words stir up many emotions among readers: anger and sadness, but also joy and compassion.
