The Sun Does Shine: How I Found Life and Freedom on Death Row

A poignant and revolutionary memoir, The Sun Does Shine tells the powerful, revealing story of a man’s thirty years on death row, and how hope, love, justice, and the power of reading brought him through his darkest times. In 1985, 29-year-old Anthony Ray Hinton was arrested and charged with two counts of murder. Stunned and confused, he knew this was a case of mistaken identity. However, with no money and little to no justice for poor black men 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. But has he slowly realized and accepted his inevitable fate, Hinton resolved to not only survive, but to find a way to live on Death Row. For the next 27 years he became a beacon of hope, transforming not only his own spirit but those of his fellow inmates sentenced to death. With the help of civil rights attorney Bryan Stevenson, Hinton won his release in 2015. The Sun Does Shine: How I Found Life and Freedom on Death Row is an extraordinary memoir that shows that, even though you can take away a man’s freedom, you can’t take away his imagination, humor, or joy.
