A powerful memoir by the attorney who founded the Equal Justice Initiative and has spent his life fighting for justice for those wrongly condemned to death, children sentenced to die in prison, and indigent defendants whose only crime is not being able to afford decent legal defense. This quote from Mr. Stevenson sums it all up: “Our shared vulnerability and imperfection nurtures and sustains our capacity for compassion. We have a choice. We can embrace our humanness, which means embracing our broken natures and the compassion that remains our best hope for healing. Or we can deny our brokenness, forswear compassion, and, as a result, deny our own humanity.”
