How does a man end up on Death Row? What is it like to spend years waiting to die?

In his raw and poignant memoir, Waiting to Die: One Man's Journey on Death Row, Feltus Taylor, Jr., who was executed in Louisiana for murder, delves into his life's traumas and wrong choices and discovers what made his life still worth living. This memoir is not only the story of a convicted murderer; it's a portrait of a young man grappling with identity, self-worth, and an unforgiving world.

Feltus Taylor, Jr., a young African American man from Louisiana, was raised in poverty, stigmatized and victimized throughout his life, constantly at the mercy of a deeply flawed justice system. Born in prison to a drug-addicted mother, Taylor was adopted at two, only to face a childhood marked by severe developmental disabilities, physical challenges, and relentless bullying. He fell into the underworld of drug runners, money troubles, and violence that landed him on Death Row.

The early years on Louisiana State Penitentiary's Death Row were bleak and lonely, yet Taylor embarked on a journey of personal redemption through writing and spiritual growth. Taylor's story has the power to break rigid perceptions, challenge public opinion, and shed light on our country's unequal and broken social and judicial systems.
