Bryan Stevenson's incredible fight to end mass incarceration, excessive punishment, and racial inequality comes to life in this young adult adaptation of the acclaimed, #1 New York Times bestseller that was made into a major motion picture starring Michael B. Jordan, Jaime Foxx, and Brie Larson.

In this very personal work—adapted from the original #1 bestseller, which the New York Times calls "as compelling as To Kill a Mockingbird, and in some ways more so"—acclaimed lawyer and social justice advocate Bryan Stevenson offers a glimpse into the lives of the wrongfully imprisoned and his efforts to fight for their freedom.

Stevenson's story is one of working to protect basic human rights for the most vulnerable people in American society—the poor, the wrongly convicted, and those whose lives have been marked by discrimination and marginalization. Through this adaptation, young people of today will find themselves called to action and compassion in the pursuit of justice.

I heard about this book from Glennon Doyle and was excited to find it had been made in to a film. The book is so much better and worth reading or listening to. There is much more to it than the one story told in the film. Enjoy.

A really hard listen. I don't know what to do with the anger I feel about the injustices. It's flabbergasting but all too sadly believable. The kind of book I can't stop talking about and recommending. Bryan Stevenson is a true hero

Amazing but awful
