| Earlier tonight, I finished reading Bank Notes by Caroline Giammanco. What an engaging work this was. It’s more than the story of an apprehended bank robber, told mostly in his own words–it’s a scathing, fact-cited indictment of the criminal justice system of the State of Missouri. It’s a story of how we must not take the freedoms afforded by our Constitution for granted, but above that, way above that, it’s a story of how true love, the support of family, and belief in oneself is absolutely the most important thing in the face of insurmountable adversity. It’s thoroughly researched from start to finish, and although maybe a bit self-serving, Caroline does a phenomenal job in standing up and painting a complete picture, from beginning to end, that allows us to think about our own way, our own personal freedoms, and that none of these should ever be taken for granted. It’s a total package, a great read that’s never preachy and respects the intelligence of the reader. I would strongly recommend reading this. The language is simple for all of the technical complexities involving the legalities of Keith’s defense. This, my friends, is courage defined. |
