The Sun Does Shine - How I found Life, Freedom, and Justice - Anthony Ray Hinton
In 1985, Anthony Ray Hinton was arrested and charged with two counts of Capital murder in Alabama. Stunned, confused, and only twenty-nine years old, Hinton knew that it was a case of mistaken identity and believed that the truth would prove his innocence and ultimately set him free. Sentenced to the death penalty, he would spend the next thirty years on a quest for justice - and finally see the sun again.
With a forward by civil rights attorney and bestselling author of Just Mercy Bryan Stevenson, The Sun Does Shine is an extraordinary testament to the power of hope sustained through the darkest times. Destined to be a classic memoir of wrongful imprisonment and freedom won, Hinton's story tells his dramatic thirty-year journey and shows how you can take away a man's freedom, but you can't take away his imagination, humor, or joy.
