Sometimes there are people out there who make all of the rest of us seem about as significant as a flea, or maybe a little amoeba. Bonnie St. John is one of those people. She had her right leg amputated at age five. She became an Olympic skier, a Rhodes Scholar and ended up working in the Clinton White House. Now, she’s trying to make a difference in others’ lives and has written a book called How Strong Women Pray, a collection of short essays by women like Barbara Bush, Nadia Comaneci and the head of the EPA Christine Todd Whitman about how and why they pray, with her own story interspersed throughout the essays.
