Over Bessie's Prayer

Bessie's prayer was that her son, Walter, would make something worthwhile out of his life. This podcast presents excerpts from that amazing life, read by Walter himself. From his grandparents navigating America post-slavery to his retirement as a Circuit Chief Judge in Illinois, Bessie's Prayer follows a rich history full of adventure, challenges, surprise, and faith. Bessie's Prayer is available in paperback, ebook, or as an audiobook.
