About this listen

 The young adult adaptation of the acclaimed, #1 New York Times bestseller Just Mercy--now a major motion picture starring Michael B. Jordan, Jaime Foxx, and Brie Larson and the subject of an HBO documentary feature!

In this very personal work--adapted from the original #1 bestseller, which the New York Times calls "as compelling as To Kill a Mockingbird, and in some ways more so"--acclaimed lawyer and social justice advocate Bryan Stevenson offers a glimpse into the lives of the wrongfully imprisoned and his efforts to fight for their freedom.

Stevenson's story is one of working to protect basic human rights for the most vulnerable people in American society--the poor, the wrongly convicted, and those whose lives have been marked by discrimination and marginalization. Through this adaptation, young people of today will find themselves called to action and compassion in the pursuit of justice.

A portion of the proceeds of this book will go to charity to help in Stevenson's important work to benefit the voiceless and the vulnerable as they attempt to navigate the broken U.S. justice system.

I heard about this book from Glennon Doyle and was excited to find it had been made in to a film. The book is so much better and worth reading or listening to. There is much more to it than the one story told in the film. Enjoy.

The stories in this book is so moving. I wish Atty Stephenson can live forever to be able to help many more people in death rows to get the justice that they truly deserve. EJI is his legacy and what a beautiful legacy to leave. I wish that people can be colour-blind when it comes to people's race. We are all the same in God's eyes.

People should all die in God's schedule
