A Knock at Midnight: A Story of Hope, Justice, and Freedom by Brittany K. Barnett

5.0

Not since being introduced to the work of my hero Bryan Stevenson have I had this type of emotional reaction to a book. Attorney Brittany Barnett is another hero. I was so emotional hearing the stories of those whose potential we simply ignore - and remove - through an unjust criminal justice system. It was painful for me to stare at the reality that we are throwing lives away with no consideration about whether or not it’s truly just. If you are interested - or even just willing - to open your heart to stories that might cause a shift in thinking about who should serve mandatory life sentences, please read this
