Flowers depicts the collateral damage of wrongful convictions on families and communities, challenging the deeper problem of mass incarceration in the United States. As she tells each exoneree's powerful story, Flowers vividly shows that release from prison, though sometimes joyous and hopeful, is not a Hollywood ending--or an ending at all. Rather, an exoneree's first unshackled steps are the beginning of a new journey full of turmoil and triumph. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBased on Chicago Public Media's yearlong multimedia series--a finalist for a national Online Journalism Award--this narrative piece of investigative journalism tells profoundly human stories of reclaiming one's life, overcoming adversity, and searching for purpose--at times with devastating consequences and courageous breakthroughs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alison Flowers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 160846587X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781608465873\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Haymarket Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/21\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.60w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/15\/2016","brand":"Alison Flowers","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43979351621887,"sku":"9781608465873","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_23e54d4e-abfb-4c1a-9a02-9f7c6f5dcab7.jpg?v=1683245088","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/exoneree-diaries-alison-flowers-9781608465873","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
