An unforgettable true story of forgiveness. It was just another time of enjoying milkshakes and small talk. Neither Debbie Cuevas nor her boyfriend, Mark Brewster, gave much though to the white pickup truck that had pulled up beside them on the riverfront. In the hours that followed, Debbie would experience atrocities too monstrous to conceive. Kidnapping, rape, torture, attempted murder. For the first time, here is the untold other half of Dead Man Walking, the movie that depicted killer Robert Willie's death-row relationship with spiritual advisor Helen Prejean.
Now the woman whose testimony helped send Willie to the electric chair tells her side of the story--the side America hasn't heard. In gripping detail, Debbie Morris -- formerly Debbie Cuevas -- recounts her hours or terror. In this stunning, true story, she details a personal struggle far more difficult, and ultimately more amazing, than her remarkable survival of the crimes committed against her.
Now, Debbie had someone else to forgive, the real life nun, Sister Helen Prejean, who wrote the book on which the movie was based -- the nun who was Robert Willey's spiritual advisor and friend -- the nun who never consulted Debbie when she wrote her book. But we share the things that are most important -- a love for Jesus Christ, a will to be obedient to God, and a value for human life. Whether it's the life of the victims of the life of the perpetrator or offender.
People ask her if forgiveness is really worth it. She responds, "the cost of forgiveness is nothing compared to the benefits of forgiveness. I feel like I have found new life through forgiveness.
Eventually I came to understand and to believe, not only in my head, but in my heart, that God loved Robert Willey as much as He loved me. You are probably wondering how Debbie Morris views the death penalty today. And she still wonders what would have happened to Robert Lee Willey if he had lived. How would he have changed and evolved as a person?
What could the Lord have done in his life? That's why Debbie wants to meet with the other man convicted in her abduction and rape. But as of this writing, prison officials have denied her request. I want to extend forgiveness and let him know that God will forgive him too. That's what really matters -- whether he has asked God to forgive him.
