Praise for The Story of Dan Bright:

“Gritty and raw, Bright’s narrative is as fascinating as it is disturbing for what it reveals about the dark, racist underside of the American justice system. Compelling reading.” –Kirkus

“The Story of Dan Bright is a story of exoneration hard-won against a Machiavellian legal system. But it’s also the story of one man’s moral redemption as he looks back on the mistakes he made […] and looks forward to a new way of life, with newfound awareness and appreciation for those on both sides of the legal system fighting injustice every day.” –Foreword
