A Story of Justice and Redemption

Bryan Stevenson

Spiegel & Grau

[Kindle eBook]

I have always lacked understanding about the relationship between the USA and its minority people groups. The book brought understanding flanked with many more questions.

It is a lament of the American judicial system, I read it in a permanent state of shock and horror. Bryan is a defender of the poor. Though he spoke of his frustrations, I never felt him venting them.

This is by far the best non-fiction that I have read and it deserves more than its five star rating.
