The young adult adaptation of the acclaimed, #1 New York Times
bestseller Just Mercy--now a major motion picture starring Michael B.
Jordan, Jaime Foxx, and Brie Larson and the subject of an HBO
documentary feature!
In this very personal work--adapted from the original #1 bestseller,
which the New York Times calls "as compelling as To Kill a
Mockingbird, and in some ways more so"--acclaimed lawyer and social
justice advocate Bryan Stevenson offers a glimpse into the lives of the
wrongfully imprisoned and his efforts to fight for their freedom.
Stevenson's story is one of working to protect basic human rights for
the most vulnerable people in American society--the poor, the wrongly
convicted, and those whose lives have been marked by discrimination and
marginalization. Through this adaptation, young people of today will
find themselves called to action and compassion in the pursuit of
justice.
Proceeds of this book will go to charity to help in Stevenson's
important work to benefit the voiceless and the vulnerable as they
attempt to navigate the broken U.S. justice system.
