This book reads like two books. One that covers the gaps that were not addressed in the movie. The second part is the overall arch of the book. How she was transformed to work for those who are on death row and victims rights. She is passionate about these two issues. It is overwhelming to read the fault of the criminal justice system affects both those who are on death row and the families of the victims. But there are the unsung people. The Harvey's, which are featured in the second part of the book, the Mennonite community and the laywer who is pro death penalty but believes strongly that someone who is on death row deserves to exhaust all of their legal options before they are executed. A fine book.
