Jennifer vaknar av att någon sitter på golvet vid hennes säng. Ett par timmar senare sitter hon på en polisstation - ett våldtäktsoffer, men fast besluten att sätta fast den man som bröt sig in i hennes lägenhet och vände hennes tillvaro uppochner. Vid vittneskonfrontationen bestämmer hon sig snabbt: nummer fem är det. Ronald Cotton döms till livstid plus femtio år. Elva år senare visar DNA-tester sanningen: han är oskyldig. Kan det finnas förlåtelse och försoning? Sagt om boken: "... en engagerande berättelse om förlåtelse och om den osannolika vänskapen ..." - Pia Holmström, Bibliotekstjänst "... mångbottnad och svår att lägga ifrån sig. Den pekar på ömma punkter i USAs rättssystem och är samtidigt en gripande berättelse om förlåtelse, skuld, hopp och försoning. En sann historia men med nästan lika mycket nerv som en fiktiv deckare." IKON1931 "När jag väl hade börjat läsa kunde jag inte lägga boken ifrån mig. Det är en bok som man är tvungen att läsa, av så många anledningar." - Annika Östberg 1,8 miljoner såg dem i Skavlan!

The New York Times best selling true story of an unlikely friendship forged between a woman and the man she incorrectly identified as her rapist and sent to prison for 11 years.Jennifer Thompson was raped at knifepoint by a man who broke into her apartment while she slept. She was able to escape, and eventually positively identified Ronald Cotton as her attacker. Ronald insisted that she was mistaken-- but Jennifer's positive identification was the compelling evidence that put him behind bars. After eleven years, Ronald was allowed to take a DNA test that proved his innocence. He was released, after serving more than a decade in prison for a crime he never committed. Two years later, Jennifer and Ronald met face to face-- and forged an unlikely friendship that changed both of their lives. With Picking Cotton, Jennifer and Ronald tell in their own words the harrowing details of their tragedy, and challenge our ideas of memory and judgment while demonstrating the profound nature of human grace and the healing power of forgiveness.
