Author Bio:
Joyce King was the first non-lawyer invited to serve on the board of directors for the Innocence Project of Texas; her love for justice is well documented in columns, magazine pieces and college lectures. King was an SMU Honors Department Lecturer and a William S. Morris Distinguished Lecturer who spent more than 20 years in broadcasting as a news anchor and reporter. After being dispatched by CBS Radio to Jasper, Texas in 1999 to cover three dragging trials of the men who murdered James Byrd, Jr, she stepped down in 2000 to write her first book, the critically-acclaimed HATE CRIME. King’s work has been featured on NPR, CNN, BET, TV One, USA Radio, Good Morning Texas, Book TV, and The Oprah Winfrey Show.

Joyce King digs deep and delivers a gripping, raw account of her relationship with James Woodard, a man who had spent 27 years in prison before being exonerated of murder. She brings the reader along during Woodard's short-lived taste of freedom, detailing his challenges re-entering society as well as their obstacles as a couple that, it seems, few were rooting for.
Even though I knew, generally, how this tale would end, I couldn't put it down, and that's a testament to King's storytelling skills. Of course, King's version is hers so whether the reader gives credence to her claims throughout is entirely subjective. What is undeniable, however, is that the wrongfully convicted deserve much, much more assistance and guidance than is currently provided by our justice system, and hopefully this book will bring more awareness to that issue.
