Hi Bridget! I am so excited to be invited to this as a subscriber to your Substack. I am assuming you need to be a subscriber to be invited to the book club? I have quite a few true crime friends but they are not always as cooperative as I am about schedules. I will share it with people and let them know if you can confirm the subscription part with me. Anyway, I will probably listen to the podcast because I don’t get a chance to sit down and read much but I do like listening to podcasts when I’m driving. I have a niece who works for the appellate court in a midwestern state and she has argued a few cases in front of crusty old conservative judges to try to get cases re-opened for folks that have no resources and have been in prison for years. I’m proud of her and I wish I knew more, but we don’t talk often. Looking forward to engaging in this with you. Hoping your son is doing as well as possible as he waits for more news.

Hey Sarah! No need to subscribe, although it might be hard to get updates without doing so. Anyone can read along!! I hope this book gets read everywhere. I'm excited to have you along!

Reserved my copy at the library, looking forward to joining the gatherings when I can! (P.S. it also always affirms my hope when the library already has a book like this in its catalog 🙏)

He’s one of my favorite non-fiction writers! I’ve read Beneath a Ruthless Sun and Devil in the Grove. His in-depth insights into the Civil Rights movement and plight of people of color always keep me riveted! This is my next read… Thank you 🙏

I can’t stop reading this book. It’s incredible. So well written. I’ve had some strong visceral reactions to it. What an amazing story.

It's such a sad but compelling story. I'm so glad you're into it!
