Just Mercy

Author: Bryan Stevenson

Bryan Stevenson’s “Just Mercy” is a powerful, eye-opening memoir that delves into the depths of America’s criminal justice system. Through his experiences as a young lawyer, Stevenson exposes the harsh realities of racial inequality and systemic injustice. His vivid storytelling brings to life the cases of wrongfully convicted individuals, leaving readers both heartbroken and inspired. I found myself deeply moved by Stevenson’s unwavering dedication to fighting for the marginalized, and his words lingered with me long after I finished the last page.

Each of us is more than the worst thing we’ve ever done.
