Virtual Book Club: Picking Cotton

Ms. Thompson founded Healing Justice based on her personal experience as a crime survivor whose case resulted in the conviction being overturned more than a decade after the trial and conviction. She became a pioneer of restorative justice in these cases by building a friendship with the innocent man wrongly convicted in her case. They later co-authored the bestselling book, Picking Cotton: Our Memoir of Injustice and Redemption.

You can find the book at Fireside Book Shop and other venues.

This event is sponsored by Healing Justice, The Ohio Innocence Project, John Carroll University, Tiffin University, and Ohio University.
