Just Mercy

Just Mercy (Adapted for Young Adults): a True Story of the Fight for Justice by Bryan Stevenson

Text from the back cover:

Adapted from the #1 bestseller, which the New York Times calls "as compelling as To Kill a Mockingbird, and in some ways more so" -- acclaimed lawyer and social justice advocate Bryan Stevenson offers a glimpse into the lives of the wrongfully imprisoned and his efforts to fight for their freedom.  Stevenson works to protect basic human rights for the most vulnerable people in American society -- the poor, the wrongly convicted, and those whose lives have been marked by discrimination and marginalization.  Through this adaptation, young people of today will find themselves called to action and compassion in the pursuit of justice.
