I finished this book in two days — it was riveting. Ray Hinton’s story is equal parts heartbreaking, terrifying, and hopeful. His outlook on life while serving time on death row as a wrongfully convicted man is awe-inspiring. But it is not without very dark moments and will cause you to really question the morality of the death penalty, especially when statistics show 1 in 10 people on death row is wrongfully convicted.
