內容簡介

內容簡介 2018歐普拉夏季選書！1985年，Anthony被逮捕了。29歲的他，雖然覺得很疑惑，但他相信被冤枉的自己，終究會得到清白。但一貧二黑，對當時身在南方的非裔族群而言，社會對他們有另一套司法系統。於是Anthony被判死刑，即將坐上電椅.......一直以來，推薦無數好書的歐普拉，其實較少推薦自傳。但她一看到這本書，就覺得非推薦不可！此書是一位名為Anthony Ray Hinton的真實回憶錄。身為非裔的他，過去曾被判死刑。在獄中待了30年後，無辜的他才被釋放。此書讀來令人心痛，看過的人無不掉淚。A powerful, revealing story of hope, love, justice, and the power of reading by a man who spent thirty years on death row for a crime he didn't commit. “An amazing and heartwarming story, it restores our faith in the inherent goodness of humanity.”―Archbishop Desmond Tutu In 1985, Anthony Ray Hinton was arrested and charged with two counts of capital murder in Alabama. Stunned, confused, and only twenty–nine years old, Hinton knew that it was a case of mistaken identity and believed that the truth would prove his innocence and ultimately set him free. But with no money and a different system of justice for a poor black man in the South, Hinton was sentenced to death by electrocution. He spent his first three years on Death Row at Holman State Prison in agonizing silence―full of despair and anger toward all those who had sent an innocent man to his death. But as Hinton realized and accepted his fate, he resolved not only to survive, but find a way to live on Death Row. For the next twenty–seven years he was a beacon―transforming not only his own spirit, but those of his fellow inmates, fifty–four of whom were executed mere feet from his cell. With the help of civil rights attorney and bestselling author of Just Mercy, Bryan Stevenson, Hinton won his release in 2015. With a foreword by Stevenson, The Sun Does Shine is an extraordinary testament to the power of hope sustained through the darkest times. Destined to be a classic memoir of wrongful imprisonment and freedom won, Hinton’s memoir tells his dramatic thirty–year journey and shows how you can take away a man’s freedom, but you can’t take away his imagination, humor, or joy.
