The second season of the Book Club will meet to discuss Becoming Ms. Burton: From Prison to Recovery to Leading the Fight for Incarcerated Women.

Susan Burton and Cari Lynn’s social justice memoir, Becoming Ms. Burton: From Prison to Recovery to Leading the Fight for Incarcerated Women, follows Burton’s journey from a prison inmate to a leading campaigner for justice system reform. Widely hailed as a stunning memoir, Becoming Ms. Burton is the remarkable life story of the renowned activist Susan Burton. In this “stirring and moving tour-de-force” (John Legend), Susan Burton movingly recounts her own journey through the criminal justice system and her transformation into a life of advocacy.
