Description: In this graphic adaptation of Sister Helen Prejean's bestselling memoir, artist Catherine Anyango Grunewald and writer Rose Vines vividly retell the story of a nun whose life became entwined with the fight against capital punishment.

Raised in a middle-class Catholic family in the Jim Crow South, Prejean's understanding of faith and justice deepened when she began working in New Orleans housing projects. There she corresponded with Patrick Sonnier, a man on death row for the murder of two teenagers. Their exchange led her to confront the realities of crime, punishment, and mercy, while connecting with victims? families and those responsible for carrying out executions.

For more than forty years, Prejean has advocated alongside prisoners and victims' families to end the death penalty. This powerful graphic adaptation brings renewed relevance and accessibility to a profound story of humanity, justice, and compassion.
