ANTHONY RAY HINTON spent nearly thirty years on death row for crimes he didn’t commit. Released in April 2015, Hinton now speaks widely on prison reform and the power of faith and forgiveness. He lives in Alabama.
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.

Anthony Ray Hinton是一個有大慈悲大智慧的ex死刑犯。他因為三樁他沒做過的謀殺案、一群隻想找個黑人替罪羊的白人法官檢察官陪審團,在沒有任何證據的情況下蹲瞭三十年的大牢。他對於人類的那種慈悲心與憐憫心,和他對於生活的無限積極熱愛,太讓人震撼瞭。全書最喜歡的就是他與Henry Hays之間unlikely的友誼——ARH相信人不過是命運和環境的産物,所以相信任何人would not have done the wrong if they could have done otherwise;但他又告訴自己不論情況如何惡劣,你總可以選擇善良和積極。最後一章裏列著的死刑犯名單裏有一位是我現在的客戶——如果有一天我能做一名像Bryan Stevenson一樣給人以希望的律師,那就好瞭。

評分A gut-wrenching journey to freedom and justice. A little bit repetitious, though.
