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

5.0

As I tore through the book, it broke my heart often, left me choking often and angered me at the injustice of it all. If the system is rigged, was there any point? And yet, at the end I dare to be hopeful. In those heartbreaking stories there is gracefulness, forgiveness, unimaginable strength and so much hope. I particularly loved the historic context of racial and economic disparity that Bryan uses to explain the plight of those caught in the spokes of injustice as we chug along. A very timely reminder to at least see the broken in our societies and maybe show a little, particularly to the undeserving.
