""Father Dustin Feddon's book is at once personal and universal. His dogged search for justice, his loving service to those on death row, and deep and practical care for those who are post-incarcerated through Joseph House, his ministry, reveal a priest in process, dedicated to being a companion along the journey.

This extraordinary book is a testament to the power of grace and kindness to heal. We should all learn from it."" -- ""--Bryan Stevenson, founder and executive director of the Equal Justice Initiative and author of Just Mercy"" ""In More Than Halfway Home, Dustin Ferdon offers a grace-filled account of his years walking alongside those our justice system has condemned.
