The Sun Does Shine

The remarkable story of how Anthony Ray Hinton spent 30 years on death row, for crimes he did not commit. The Sun Does Shine  is a powerful and compelling true story that brings to life deep, human questions about suffering and redemption.Anthony Ray Hinton was poor and black when he was convicted of two murders he hadn't committed. For the next three decades he was trapped in solitary confinement in a tiny cell on death row, having to watch as - one by one - his fellow prisoners were taken past him to the execution room. Eventually his case was taken up by the award-winning lawyer, Bryan Stevenson, who managed to have him exonerated, though it took 15 years for this to happen. How did Hinton cope with the mental and emotional torture of his situation? The Sun Does Shine  throws light not only on his remarkable personality but also on social deprivation and miscarriages of justice.
