I received a free copy in exchange for an honest review.
As an attorney in Chicago, I was familiar with Jarrett’s story when he was a law student a few years ago. I was still unprepared for how compelling I found this book.
Wrongfully convicted of sexual assault when he was barely an adult, Jarrett spent 10 years incarcerated before his conviction was overturned. This book tells his story as he leaves prison, goes to law school and eventually argues his first case for the Innocence Project at the same court where he was convicted years before. His story is equal parts inspiring and infuriating.
If you enjoyed Michelle Alexander’s “The New Jim Crow” and Bryan Stevenson’s “Just Mercy,” you will want to order this book for your collection. I’ll be recommending it to all my friends.
