Picking Cotton: Our Memoir of Injustice and Redemption by Jennifer Thompson-Cannino, Ronald Cotton

4.0

A true story of a rape victim and her accused. Ronald Cotton spends 11 years in prison for the rape of Jennifer Thompson. He is convicted mainly based on her eye witness testimony, picking him from a police line up. Told from both perspectives, Jennifer trying to continue living after being raped at knifepoint and Ronald trying to find peace being in prison for a crime he didn't commit. Eventually freed from prison due to DNA evidence, Ronald and Jennifer strike up an unlikely and touching friendship. A moving story of hope and forgiveness.
