  15. from The Sun does Shine by Anthony Ray Hinton

    I was happy for [my brother] Lester, but I would wait for him to tell me about his getting married. I didn’t want to make him feel bad for making me feel bad. That’s what real friendship was all about. Or any relationship, for that matter. You wanted the other person’s happiness as much as, or more, than your own. Lester deserved love. Hell, everyone deserved love.

    “No, Mr. Hinton. They can’t put you to death while your case is in the courts.”

    I put my head down on the table and took a few breaths. When I lifted my head back up, I knew I had tears in my eyes, but [his white woman attorney] Santha didn’t say anything about that [which was a kindness].
