How sad and eye opening. This book completely changed my views on so many issues that I simply hadn't bothered to do the research on before. Definitely worth a read.

This was such a hard book to read. It made me equal parts angry and sick, reading about so much injustice and knowing these stories are just a drop in the bucket. We have got a lot of work to do.

Holy hell, everyone needs to read this. That is my professional opinion. Thank you. That is all, now here are some of my favorite quotes :
"We are all broken by something. We have all hurt someone and have been hurt. We all share the condition of brokenness even if our brokenness is not equivalent."
"The power of just mercy is that it belongs to the undeserving. It’s when mercy is least expected that it’s most potent—strong enough to break the cycle of victimization and victimhood, retribution and suffering. It has the power to heal the psychic harm and injuries that lead to aggression and violence, abuse of power, mass incarceration."
"Constantly being suspected, accused, watched, doubted, distrusted, presumed guilty, and even feared is a burden borne by people of color that can’t be understood or confronted without a deeper conversation about our history of racial injustice."

This book is heavy, but worth reading. I found the writing style to be not my favourite which is why the 3 stars, but I would still recommend for people interested in justice reform and racial inequity in the justice system.
