Discussion
Group
Come join the group on Monday, November 12th at 2 pm,
as we discuss Anthony Ray Hinton’s
powerful, revealing story of hope, love, justice, and the power of reading
The Sun Does Shine
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.
But with no money and a different system of justice
for a poor black man in the South, Hinton was
sentenced to death by electrocution. He spent his first
three years on Death Row at Holman State Prison in
agonizing silence―full of despair and anger toward all
those who had sent an innocent man to his death. But
as Hinton realized and accepted his fate, he resolved
not only to survive, but find a way to live on Death
Row. For the next twenty-seven years he was a beacon―transforming not only
his own spirit, but those of his fellow inmates, fifty-four of whom were
executed mere feet from his cell. With the help of civil rights attorney and
bestselling author of Just Mercy, Bryan Stevenson, Hinton won his release in
2015.
With a foreword by 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
memoir 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.
Register in the office and receive a library copy for
advance reading.
See what everybody has been
reading and join in the discussion!
