This review is from: Capital Consequences: Families of the Condemned Tell Their Stories (Hardcover)
Rachel King has followed up her previous book with a similar theme, though with a completely different voice. Imagine the shame, ignominy, and ostracism that can come from having a family member sentenced to death and executed.
In Capital Consequences, she tells the stories of family members facing this unique victimization. As in her previous book, King allows the eloquence of the individuals to shine through in their own words. There are unexpected nuggets in this book, and it is an important addition to the growing body of literature about the impact of the death penalty on American society.

This review is from: Capital Consequences: Families of the Condemned Tell Their Stories (Hardcover)
Rachel King's writing is compassionate and urgent. In telling the story of how these families cleave to dignity, she exposes the moral failure that is the death penalty. This book is profoundly moving and almost sickening. It makes one ashamed to be part of a society that can act so cruelly and can traumatize so many innocent people.
