Bryan Stevenson is my new hero. I heard him speak a few weeks ago and he was powerful, engaging, and drew me right into his cause for equal justice. This book expands on many of the stories he shared in his verbal talk so I really liked hearing a bit more about those stories.
This book has lots of overwhelming statistics on crime and how over-crowded our prisons are and I agree with his explanation for how we ended up at a time when children were charged as adults. I would like to think we don't ...more

An in-depth review will be forthcoming as soon as I can fully process this. ...more
