Anthony Ray Hinton, with Lara Love Hardin and Olugbemisola Rhuday-Perkovich

an innocent man, a wrongful conviction, and the long path to justice

Adapted for young readers, this true story follows a man who spent thirty years on death row for a crime he didn't commit and how he transformed not only his own spirit, but those of his fellow inmates, until his release in 2015In 1985, Anthony Ray Hinton was arrested and charged with two counts of capital murder in Alabama. It was a case of mistaken identity, and Hinton believed that the truth would prove his innocence. He spent his first three years at Holman State Prison full of despair and anger toward all those who had sent an innocent man to his death. For the next twenty-seven years he transformed not only his own spirit, but those of his fellow inmates. Winning his release in 2015, Hinton shares his story of hope, love, justice, and the power of reading by a man who spent thirty years on death row for a crime he didn't commit. -- adapted from jacket
