This book provides an inner look at the lives of men on death row in Tennessee. There were parts of this book that left me a bit underwhelmed, but many parts had me in tears.

I appreciate the author’s candidness throughout the book. And at no point was he trying to sway readers one way or the other regarding their death penalty stance.

I think he simply tried to point out that we’re all human, even those on death row.

I was very moved by the group of individuals who visit those on death row each week. And to hear the stories…it was powerful. I also appreciated how the author provides details on the victims and makes sure they’re a focus, too.
