I am Troy Davis / Jen Marlowe and Martina Davis-Correia ; with Troy Anthony Davis. - 285 pages : illustrations ; 22 cm.
Includes bibliographical references (page 6) and index.
I Am Troy Davis , coauthored by Jen Marlowe and Davis's sister Martina Davis-Correia, tells the intimate story of an ordinary man caught up in an inexorable tragedy. From his childhood in racially charged Savannah; to the confused events that led to the 1989 murder of a police officer; to Davis's sudden arrest, conviction, and two-decade fight to prove his innocence, I Am Troy Davis takes us inside a broken legal system where life and death hang in the balance. It is also an inspiring testament to the unbreakable bond of family, to the resilience of love, and to how even when you reach the end of justice, voices from across the world will rise together in chorus and proclaim, "I am Troy Davis, I stand with you."
