　　“This book is a life-changer. Thomas Cahill has

shown—through the extraordinary life of one man—that God works

everywhere and can bring the most beautiful soul to maturity in

even the most horrifying circumstances. If you read his story you

will never forget Dominique Green, nor will you ever feel the same

way about our courts, our prisons, and our criminal justice

system.” —Sister Helen Prejean, author of Dead Man

Walking

“Though this is a book that ends in death, it does not end in

despair. Read it and discover how even the obscenity of capital

punishment can be transformed into an occasion of light and peace.”

—Desmond Tutu, Archbishop Emeritus of Cape Town, South Afric

"A deeply moving narrative about a man transformed as he faced an

unjust execution." —James H. Cone, author of Black Theology

and Black Power

“I expect A Saint on Death Row to become a classic in the growing

struggle to cleanse this nation finally of the sin of the death

penalty.” —Jonathan Kozo

“Riveting. . . . [A] poignant tribute. . . . Cahill’s moving tale

shines a sharp light on a negligent and flawed justice

system.” —The Christian Science Monitor

“An inspiring story of growth and redemption. . . . Cahill has

achieved something grander than straight biography here: an

intervention in public memory.” —Texas Observer

good and evil, and he is an intelligent, engaging historian.”

—The Dallas Morning News

“Intensely powerful. . . . A case history of the failures of

society. . . . There is so much in this meticulously researched and

clearly explained book to make you think.” —Washington

Lawyer

“Powerful. . . . [A] story of redemption and forgiveness. . . .

In patient detail, [Cahill] captures a young street kid responding

to [the death penalty] with such growing equanimity, grace, and

saintliness. . . . [An] excellent book.” —Baltimore City

Paper

“Remarkable. . . . Cahill’s book stimulates deep thought about

good and evil. . . . Readers could count themselves foolish to pass

by any book he writes. . . . An affecting book.” —The Tampa

Bay Times

“Moving. . . . A powerful challenge to any notion that all is

more or less OK with the administration of criminal justice in the

US. . . . Once you’ve gotten to know [Dominique Green] in Cahill’s

pages, [he] is not likely to slip very quickly from your

memory.” —Richard Bernstein, The Daily Beast

“Everyone who reads [A Saint on Death Row] will be touched by it.

. . . Dominique’s shining example of a rehabilitated life, indeed a

rebirth within a living death, will surely stand as silent witness

against the continued employment of the death penalty.”

—www.curledup.com

“Compelling.” —The Miami Herald

“Cahill reveals the stomach-knotting circumstances of Dominique’s

childhood years with great sensitivity. . . . This is not merely an

academic account of miscarried justice. [Cahill is] lending [his]

voice to someone who has been dehumanized, debased. . . . Cahill’s

central question lingers like the burn of stomach acid in the back

of one’s throat: What did we gain—what?—by killing him?”

—Paste Magazine

“An inspiring example of human development on Death Row.”

—America Magazine

书籍介绍

Bestselling author Thomas Cahill tells the absorbing, heartbreaking tale of the hard life and tragic death of Dominique Green—wrongly accused, then executed in Huntsville, Texas—and shines a light on our racist and deeply flawed criminal justice system.

Green, an extraordinary young man from the urban ghettos of Houston, was utterly failed by every echelon of society—the Catholic Church, numerous U.S. courts of law, and even his own mother. But from the depths of despair on Death Row, he transcended his earthly sufferings and achieved enlightenment and peace, inciting an international movement against the death penalty and inspiring his personal hero, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, to plead publicly for mercy.

A Saint on Death Row is an unforgettable, sobering, and deeply spiritual account that illuminates the moral imperatives too often ignored in the headlong quest for judgment.
