My son, the ESPN junkie, had this on the other day and I was drawn into the story even before I became aware of her religious vocation. Very inspiring and touching, and the story is well done, a vigorous testimony to what happens when you reject the self-absorption that almost inevitably accompanies celebrity—even if you don't mean it to.
