Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption by Bryan Stevenson

5.0

Powerful, persuasive and urgent. This extremely well-written book is so compelling it flies by quickly, despite its heavy content. As good as the narrative is, it's also meticulously researched with case after case illustrating Stevenson's point. He is very effective at drawing attention to the different intersections of vulnerability (race, poverty, youth, disability, gender... and, bears repeating, poverty). This book has been on my radar for years and I'm so glad I've read it. This is a really compassionate book, and vital for all Americans to read.
