One of the most important, if often heart-breaking, books I've read this year. I'll write more of a review later, but just had to add at least a quick few words to share how profoundly stirred AND shaken I was by this book.

This book is incredible. It's a tough read, but very eye opening. I would never have imagined the justice system is this broken. And in many ways it's my fault as a citizen.

An important, depressing, and slow book about efforts fighting the death penalty. I started the book in 2020, abandoned it because the pandemic was depressing enough, and restarted it this spring for a book club. Even with the impetus of the book club discussion, it still took me probably 2 months to read this. I so admire the work Bryan Stevenson and his group are doing, but it wasn’t a book I wanted to read.
This was fascinating, horrifying, and heartbreaking. Hearing all the people who were let down by the justice system is awful and I hope people like Bryan Stevenson will right all the wrongs that others commit.
