To be honest, I did not want to read this book when someone in my book club selected it. I don’t normally read autobiographies, but I’m glad she picked it and that I stuck with it.

The Sun Does Shine is the autobiography of Anthony Ray Hinton who was wrongly accused and sentenced to two murders he did not commit in Alabama in the 80’s. This book is about his time in court and on death row and all the injustices he went through before the US Supreme Court finally recognized he was innocent 29 years later.

This was definitely an eye opener for me. Not because of the prejudices and injustices in our world, but because of how it made me feel for the people on death row and what they go through. The strength and determination Ray shows is amazing.

I would definitely recommend this book.
