  2. Description LOS ANGELES TIMES BOOK PRIZE FINALIST 8226 NAACP IMAGE AWARD NOMINEE 8226 A 8220powerful and devastating8221 (The Washington Post) call to free those buried alive by America8217s legal system, and an inspiring true story about unwavering belief in humanity8212from a gifted young lawyer and important new voice in the movement to transform the system.8220An essential book for our time . . . Brittany K. Barnett is a star.82218212Van Jones, CEO of REFORM Alliance, CNN Host, and New York Times bestselling author Brittany K. Barnett was only a law student when she came across the case that would change her life forever8212that of Sharanda Jones, single mother, business owner, and, like Brittany, Black daughter of the rural South. A victim of America8217s devastating war on drugs, Sharanda had been torn away from her young daughter and was serving a life sentence without parole8212for a first-time drug offense. In Sharanda, Brittany saw haunting echoes of her own life, as the daughter of a formerly incarcerated mother. As she studied this case, a system came into focus in which widespread racial injustice forms the core of America8217s addiction to incarceration. Moved by Sharanda8217s plight, Brittany set to work to gain her freedom. This had never been the plan. Bright and ambitious, Brittany was a successful accountant on her way to a high-powered future in corporate law. But Sharanda8217s case opened the door to a harrowing journey through the criminal justice system. By day she moved billion-dollar deals, and by night she worked pro bono to free clients in near hopeless legal battles. Ultimately, her path transformed her understanding of injustice in the courts, of genius languishing behind bars, and the very definition of freedom itself.Brittany8217s riveting memoir is at once a coming-of-age story and a powerful evocation of what it takes to bring hope and justice to a system built to resist them both.NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY KIRKUS REVIEWS
