Almost Innocent: From Searching to Saved in America’s Criminal Justice System

Join us for a Book Discussion with Shanti Brien – author of Almost Innocent (Instructions to join are listed at the end of this post).

Part memoir, part political commentary, Almost Innocent details the stories of nine legal cases and goes behind the headlines to break down the dichotomies our country grapples with—us versus them, good versus bad, guilt versus innocence, Black versus White—and challenges us to explore the humanity in between.
