imskylow's review against another edition
5.0
I don't mean that it's at all boring or dense or has weird pacing. I mean that the stories within this book are extremely difficult to consume. It's painful— not as painful as those who had to live it— but painful nonetheless. Knowledge can be that way sometimes. I found myself really putting off listening to this book or only listening for short segments because of how overwhelming and devastating so many stories were. It's simply so much easier to live in the ignorance, to close your eyes, plug your ears and turn away. But we shouldn't do that. As Americans, but even more broadly, as <b> humans <b/> we must progress collectively and that means opening our minds and hearts to those suffering. I won't lie, there were many times I got emotional many times for my black brothers and sisters suffering merely due to prejudice. The wrongful convictions, harsh sentencings, and pure violence that they experienced and still do experience is sickening. Bryan Stevenson and everyone a EJI are angels on earth and we need more people like them— more stone catchers. Because of this book, I also feel inspired to be a stone catcher in my own life where I can and a shoulder to cry on when it's needed. Obviously, not everyone is a lawyer but I think I could do more to support those who cannot fight for themselves.
