The remarkable story of how Anthony Ray Hinton spent 30 years on death row, for crimes he did not commit.
Born in Alabama in 1957, Anthony Ray Hinton was 29 years old when he was wrongly convicted of the murders of two restaurant managers. Held on death row for nearly 30 years he was finally released on 3 April 2015 after his appeal was taken right up to the US Supreme Court, which ruled that his case should be retried. Since his release he's become a popular and powerful speaker, planning to devote the rest of his life to help counter discrimination, bolster justice and share his message of hope and forgiveness.
Amazing and heartwarming...The Sun Does Shine restores our faith in
the inherent goodness of humanity.
*Archbishop Desmond Tutu*
Anthony Ray Hinton's memoir of his wrongful imprisonment...is a
riveting account of the multiple outrages of the criminal justice
system of Alabama. But that isn't what makes this a genuine
spiritual experience: that comes from the nearly biblical capacity
of the author to endure, to forgive, and finally to triumph...his
book is a harrowing masterpiece.
*Guardian*
A wonderful memoir...a story of forgiveness and struggle - and a
story of friendship and imagination
*Book of the Day, Observer*
This incredibly moving chronicle...is one staggering revelation
after another, but also a lovely portrait of kindness, warmth and
how faith is its own reward...On death row he somehow navigates
through his rage and despair to a state of forgiveness and
grace.
*Independent*
Hinton is an example to us all of the power of the human spirit to
rise above complete injustice. His book will inspire people to
never accept the unacceptable.
