My book club chose this book by accident and ended up loving it. The title does not relate the true meaning of the story. Told from the eyes of a prisoner on Death Row who shows a love for humanity one normally does not attribute to Death Row inmates and from the view of a Death Row investigator who is haunted by her own history. The characters are very deep and thought out. For a relatively short book, a great deal of story and description is packed in. If you do not need a feel good book and want to read something that might give you a different perspective, this is a recommended read. If you have the version with the author's notes at the end, that helped gain an understanding of why this book was written.
