Just Mercy

This is an incredible and shattering book about the injustices of the criminal justice system. It is so incredibly well-written that it actually took me a long time to read because I would need a lot of time to digest after each chapter. The book is told in alternating chapters, with one chapter about a specific case that Bryan Stevenson worked on in exonerating Walter McMillian, a wrongly imprisoned man on death row, followed by a chapter about a specific issue in the justice system, such as juveniles sentenced to life in prison. Throughout, Stevenson's own humanity shines through. This is a book that will stick with me for a long time.
