Seventeen-year-old Lenni Pettersson lives on the Terminal Ward at the Glasgow Princess Royal Hospital. Though the teenager has been told she’s dying, she still has plenty of living to do. Joining the hospital’s arts and crafts class, she meets the magnificent Margot, an 83-year-old, purple-pajama-wearing, fruitcake-eating rebel, who transforms Lenni in ways she never imagined. As their friendship blooms, a world of stories opens for these unlikely companions who, between them, have been alive for one hundred years.

I loved the idea of the relationship and the tenderness with which their individual thoughts, experiences and emotions were expressed. It felt so right in every way how their lives became so intertwined that they became as one light.

Seventeen years old and facing nearly 30 years behind bars, Jarrett Adams sought to figure out the why behind his fate. Sustained by his mother and aunts who brought him back from the edge of despair through letters of prayer and encouragement, Adams became obsessed with our legal system in all its damaged glory. After studying how his constitutional rights to effective counsel had been violated, he solicited the help of the Wisconsin Innocence Project, an organization that exonerates the wrongfully convicted, and won his release after nearly 10 years in prison.

This book is so important for every citizen of the United States to read.
Revisado: 11-29-22
I believe we as US citizens have been living with the understanding that our judicial system as laid out by our constitution and later legislation is fair and impartial and allows for justice to be served in an egalitarian and expedited manner. That is the lie you only understand when you find yourself in the middle of a legal battle with no money to help buy your way out. Why doesn’t our system spend its money, time and personnel on making sure convictions are accurate and sentences are fair? Jarrett Adams presents his case as one example of our disfuncional system and what it took him to fight it and win. It is a book of faith and determination, and hope. Thank you Jarrett Adams for removing the wool from our eyes.
