I borrowed this book from the library after hearing the author interviewed on the podcast Criminal. His story is sad, but his memoir is beautiful.

If you‘ve read Just Mercy, you‘ve heard a little about Ian Manuel‘s story. (If you haven‘t read Just Mercy you really should.) Ian was sentenced to life in prison without parole for a non-homicide crime committed when he was 13 years old. Thirteen. This is Ian‘s memoir, and it‘s every bit as painful to read as you expect, as we follow a child into a very broken adult criminal justice system, where he spent YEARS in solitary confinement.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My 9th graders and I read about this case in our Just Mercy unit. I learned about the book today thanks to @Liberty ‘s All the Books.
