All rise... for Judge Stone.
The most respected citizen in Union Springs, Alabama (population 3,314), is Judge Mary Stone. She holds two responsibilities sacred: running her family farm and presiding over her courtroom. It's there she draws the most controversial case in the history of the South.
Criminally, it's open-and-shut.
Ethically, there is no middle ground. Essentially, it's a choice between life and death.
No judge can satisfy everyone. It would be dangerous to try. But Judge Stone is willing to fight to bring justice to the people and place she loves.

Having Viola Davis as the narrator was top tier !!
It was unputdownable, I kept wanting to know what happened next.
I expected a crazier ending but it was satisfying and happy.
Wanted a twist which I didn’t get but that’s fine.
Really interesting book, touches on very realistic and complex topics in real life in real time.
It was a great read, reminded me so much of To Kill A Mockingbird and I was all for it!
Really enjoyed this !
