Bryan Stevenson sifts through thousands of pages of documents, court files and more in order to find the truth about a young man who was sentenced to death at 18.

"Just Mercy" is the new film from director [Steven Spielberg] and based on the true story of Bryan Stevenson's life. In "Just Mercy," we meet Bryan at a time in his life where he is about to be named one of the youngest recipients of the MacArthur Fellowship. But, as Bryan tells us in this audiobook, that moment would come with great struggle: he saw injustice everywhere around him and it made him feel powerless to do anything. So, he decided to make some changes.

After reading the novel, Bryan Stevenson was inspired to create a documentary film about how he broke ground as a young lawyer defending the wrongly convicted. He delivered a harrowing first-hand account of his life and career in Just Mercy, which won him an Oscar for Best Documentary Feature in 2018.

Just Mercy is an eloquent and heartbreaking novel about the lengths to which Bryan Stevenson would go to save a man on death row. The book chronicles the story of Walter McMillian, the 32 year old soft-spoken African American man who was accused of killing a white woman more than two decades ago in Louisiana.

Bryan Stevenson's soaring narrative sets an indelible memory in motion: a young man named Walter, who died at 20 years old. However, the story behind his death is so much more than what meets the eye. In Just Mercy, Stevenson tells us how he began this journey as a child defense attorney to help children and adults struggling with criminal injustice in the United States. Aided by his love for justice- and inspiration from Walter's life- he approaches cases with compassion and persistence even when the odds seem insurmountable.

Bryan Stevenson is a lawyer and professor who has dedicated his life to fighting for justice and fairness within the American criminal justice system. His story, Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption, is an important work of literature because it tells the tales of people who have been wrongfully imprisoned or wrongly accused by the judicial system.
