A Knock at Midnight: A Story of Hope, Justice, and Freedom : By - Brittany K. Barnett - Book Review

A Knock at Midnight: A Story of Hope, Justice, and Freedom : By - Brittany K. Barnett Brittany K. Barnett was only a law student when she came across the case that would change her life forever—that of Sharanda Jones, single mother, business owner, and, like Brittany, Black daughter of the rural South. A victim of America’s devastating war on drugs, Sharanda had been torn away from her young daughter and was serving a life sentence without parole—for a first-time drug offense. In Sharanda, Brittany saw haunting echoes of her own life, as the daughter of a formerly incarcerated mother. As she studied this case, a system came into focus in which widespread racial injustice forms the core of America’s addiction to incarceration. Moved by Sharanda’s plight, Brittany set to work to gain her freedom. Website : https://gobookmart.com/book-review Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/GoBookMart1/
