"[Hinton] is a remarkable storyteller. You will be swept away in this unbelievable, dramatic true story" (Oprah Winfrey)
"Nelson Mandela spent 27 years in prison for opposing a racist system in South Africa. Anthony Ray Hinton spent 30 years on death row because a racist system still exists in America. Both emerged from their incarceration with a profound capacity to forgive. They are stunning examples of how the most horrendous cruelty can lead to the most transcendent compassion." (Archbishop Desmond Tutu)
"Anthony Ray Hinton's memoir of his wrongful imprisonment...is a riveting account of the multiple outrages of the criminal justice system of Alabama. But that isn't what makes this a genuine spiritual experience: that comes from the nearly biblical capacity of the author to endure, to forgive, and finally to triumph...his book is a harrowing masterpiece." (Guardian)
"A wonderful memoir...A story of forgiveness and struggle - and a story of friendship and imagination" (Book of the Day, Observer)
"This incredibly moving chronicle...is one staggering revelation after another, but also a lovely portrait of kindness, warmth and how faith is its own reward...On death row he somehow navigates through his rage and despair to a state of forgiveness and grace." (Independent)

At 29, Anthony Ray Hinton was charged with robbery and murder, and sentences to death by electrocution. His only crime? To be poor and black.
Over the years he watched fellow inmates go to their deaths knowing he would soon follow.
Hinton?s incredible story reveals the injustices of the American legal system, but it is also testament to the hope and humanity in us all.
