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

emotional informative medium-paced

5.0

I believe this is a must read book! The book begins with Barnett’s experience with a mother who was addicted to drugs and later incarcerated. Occurring in her early adulthood it helped to fuel her drive to be successful. After going to law school, with hopes of becoming a corporate attorney, Barnett comes across the case of Sharanda Jones and she is brought back to her experience with her mother. Upon reaching out to Sharanda, she sets on a years long journey to free Sharanda from her life sentence, and the journey brings along more than she bargained for. A tale of triumph, defeat, injustice and the fight for freedom, a lesson to those unaware of the unfair justice system and a call to action for those who are.
