Rather, an exoneree's first unshackled steps are the beginning of a new journey full of turmoil and uncertainty. Flowers also sheds new light on the collateral damage of wrongful convictions on families and communities, confronting deeper problems of mass incarceration and the criminal justice system.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Haymarket Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47047862092016,"sku":"9781608466757","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781608466757_p0.jpg?v=1763839157","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781608466757","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
