Anotace knihy

When Carol McAlester, a good friend and warden, told §me that carrying out the death penalty in the United §States, killing people, was wearing her out, I was §compelled to discover how she and her colleagues §coped with such a gruesome responsibility. Although §capital punishment may fade from American history, §many whose lives it touched will live on. §Therefore, I pursued an investigation that lead to §interviews with corrections officials; offenders; §attorneys; chaplains; and victims, those who d had §loved ones murdered and executed. Some of the §individuals I met were slowly becoming stronger in §what Ernest Hemingway called the broken places. §They and, vicariously, I re-discovered an old truth, §that despite the pain suffering can inflict, it can §bring to bear that life is short and feeling empathy §for fellow human beings is rewarding.
