“The now legendary story of Dead Man Walking has been heard and seen by millions. This updated, graphic presentation is yet another way for others, hopefully a new generation, to witness the inhumane treatment of those in our prisons. As I read it, I asked once again the question so many evade: If it is wrong to kill, why do we allow the State to kill in our name?”—John Grisham, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Innocent Man and co-author of Framed “Sister Helen’s powerful story of the harm we create when we kill one another is an essential read not just for understanding the cruelty of capital punishment, but also the beauty of mercy, justice, and redemption.”—Bryan Stevenson, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Just Mercy
