Read this book for a Banned Book Club discussion and it's safe to say that this definitely isn't my thing. There's a lot of legal stuff in here, and the plot itself is a bit slow moving. It will make for an interesting book club discussion, though!

It’s literally about a black man on trial for revenge killing his 9 yo daughter’s rapists.
