What The Reviewers Say

... compelling.
Jenny Hamilton,
Booklist
The ballot victory in the 2018 election was the culmination of many years’ hard work, and Meade speaks with affection and admiration of the many allies who made it possible. Though an epilogue acknowledges the political efforts to hollow out the rights of returning citizens, this is nevertheless a moving and triumphant story of how ordinary citizens can make a difference..
Leah Huey,
Library Journal
An uplifting and hopeful chronicle of the power of faith, the rights of the disenfranchised, as well as a call for systemic change within the United States..

... appealing.
