it was amazing
bookshelves: library

At age 13 (in 1991), Ian Manual commits a crime involving a botched robbery and shooting. He is sentences to life in prison without parole, making him one of the youngest people in the US adult prison system. This book talks about his 30+ year journey in prison, his correspondence with the woman he shot, and his eventual freedom with the help from EJI (the nonprofit run by Bryan Stevenson - see Just Mercy for more info). It's not an easy read, as is expected. There is trigger warning for rape, self harm, and abuse in this book. Ian's story deserved to be told and I'm glad he was able to tell it.
