SUMMARY:Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, August 18-  Hoping for an in person meeting–  location and time to be announced \nContemporary insight into our justice system\, from a brilliant lawyer who works however he can to make it a better one.\nJust Mercy: a story of justice and redemption – Bryan Stevenson (2014)\, 336 pp.  54 of 60 copies are available.\n“Bryan Stevenson was a young lawyer when he founded the Equal Justice Initiative\, a legal practice dedicated to defending those most desperate and in need: the poor\, the wrongly condemned\, and women and children trapped in the farthest reaches of our criminal justice system. One of his first cases was that of Walter McMillian\, a young man who was sentenced to die for a notorious murder he insisted he didn’t commit. The case drew Bryan into a tangle of conspiracy\, political machination\, and legal brinksmanship–and transformed his understanding of mercy and justice forever.\nJust Mercy is at once an unforgettable account of an idealistic\, gifted young lawyer’s coming of age\, a moving window into the lives of those he has defended\, and an inspiring argument for compassion in the pursuit of true justice.”

Morais (2008)\, 245 pp.  10 copies available through the library system.\n“A New York Times Bestseller; now a major motion picture starring Helen Mirren and Om Puri. Born above his grandfather’s modest restaurant in Mumbai\, Hassan Haji first experienced life through intoxicating whiffs of spicy fish curry\, trips to the local markets\, and gourmet outings with his mother. Then tragedy pushes the family out of India\, they eat their way around the world before settling in a small village in the French Alps. There they open an inexpensive Indian restaurant opposite the esteemed French relais of chef Madame Mallory.”
