Oprah announced this morning her latest selection for Oprah’s Book Club, making a departure from the often-selected novel and instead choosing memoir titled The Sun Does Shine, by Anthony Ray Hinton. Hinton spent the next 30 years on death row ― alone in a small cell that sat 30 feet from the death chamber ― for crimes he did not commit. OWN Anthony Ray Hinton writes about his trying experience as an innocent man on death row in his moving memoir, The Sun Does Shine. Hinton spent those three agonizing decades waiting for his execution, hoping desperately that the courts would eventually acknowledge his innocence. The Sun Does Shine chronicles Hinton’s experience on and escaping death row, where he says he also found “life and freedom” during his prison term.
