Getting Life: An Innocent Man's 25-Year Journey from Prison to Peace by Michael Morton

5.0

When I received the book, I figured it would be just another biography. I was wrong, so wrong. This story is so horrible and beautiful at the same time. Mr. Morton is a man to look up to. Not only for what he has accomplished but what he has let go to make his life better. This was beautifully written and he is a genius. I did not expect to fall in love with the story the way I did but it's hard not to. I laughed, I cried, I felt pain, and I felt guilty for all the things in my life that I have taken for granted. This is one of the best pieces of literature that I have ever read. I will forever support Michael and think of his strengths when things look grim. He is an innocent man that took on a burden he never would have dreamed of and came out on top. A wonderful father. A great husband. He is a hero.
