Well if I had known what I was getting into before I picked it up, I would have choosed a better time for it.
Key themes:
Injustice, racism, religion, education, community, and redemption.
Set ten years before the Civil Rights Movement would first begin to appear. Jefferson, a young Black man is an unwitting party to a liquor store shootout in which three men are killed; the only survivor is convicted of murder and sentenced to death.
A book so small in size and writing, yet powerful and impactful. For fans of 'Just Mercy', you might want to pick this up.
