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

emotional hopeful informative medium-paced

5.0

Mr Stevenson shows his audience that there is a lot more to the criminal justice system than we think. He shares stories from men and women he has represented over the years, telling how they were mistreated, sometimes by the very people who are supposed to serve and protect. Along the way, he breaks down laws and policies, helping the reader understand what it really means to prosecute a minor as an adult, or to sentence someone to life in prison as a juvenile. I highly recommend this book and it will very likely become required reading for my children in their high school years.
