A well done, powerful, timely book. The author created a book that’s both unique and difficult to describe. It’s a delicate balancing act that he pulls off masterfully.

Truly eye opening and heartbreaking. This was an emotional roller coaster ride for me. They Can't Take Your Name explores, among other issues, racial injustice, loss of loved ones, prejudice, and corrupt law enforcement and politicians. I was completely enthralled in this story. Robert Justice has skillfully woven together several characters and plot lines to create one of the most emotionally wrecking books I've read in a long time. The twists in this had me truly shocked at times. I would really love some more of Liza and Eli's story after the ending though. This should be required reading for literally everyone. The audiobook was very easy to fall into and a no brainer for me to recommend!


Thanks so much to Netgalley and Dreamscape media for allowing me to review this book. All opinions are honest and my own.

In my opinion, this was such a powerful book! Langston Brown is wrongly accused and on death row. His daughter Liza, who is in law school, is doing everything in her power to save her father. There are thirty days on the clock, and this book takes you on this short countdown. I thought this book was so well done. It is a devastating story that shows what family and love are down to the truest form. The audio is also well done, and I would highly recommend this book!

Thank you @dreamscape_media and @netgalley for the #gifted ALC!
