Summary:
Change of Heart is the story of that uneven journey to confronting and reconciling with a murderer. The book takes on the larger issues of restorative justice, life sentences, and incarceration in the criminal justice system. It unflinchingly acknowledges the personal cost of advocating for mercy for people convicted of serious crimes. In the end, the book is a story of moving beyond mere forgiveness to the deeper waters of redemption and grace.
