The Man Who Learned to Walk Three Times

Peter Kavanagh, author of a new memoir on his life and illness, has been thinking a lot about prayer.  As in: what it's like when your own mother prays for you - to the patron saint of lost causes.

Kavanagh is a former CBC producer, having worked for The Sunday Edition, Ideas and Morningside. His new memoir, The Man Who Learned to Walk Three Times, explores how polio and other "bad odds" shaped his life.
