Bryan Stevenson grew up poor in the racially segregated South. His innate sense of justice made him a brilliant young lawyer, and one of his first defendants was Walter McMillian, a black man sentenced to die for the murder of a white woman - a crime he
insisted he didn't commit. The case drew Bryan into a tangle of conspiracy, political machination, startling racial
inequality, and legal brinkmanship - and transformed his understanding of mercy and justice forever.
At once an unforgettable account of an idealistic lawyer's coming of age and a moving portrait of the lives of those he has defended, Just Mercy is an inspiring argument for compassion in the pursuit of justice.
