A Conversation with Brittany K. Barnett

Published: April 30, 2021, 5:55 p.m.

Join Roger & Michelle with special guest Brittany K. Barnett - attorney & author of "A Knock at Midnight." She was only a law student when she came across the case that would change her life forever\u2014that of Sharanda Jones, single mother, business owner, and, like Brittany, Black daughter of the rural South. A victim of America\u2019s devastating war on drugs, Sharanda had been torn away from her young daughter and was serving a life sentence without parole\u2014for a first-time drug offense. In Sharanda, Brittany saw haunting echoes of her own life, as the daughter of a formerly incarcerated mother.

Brittany\u2019s riveting memoir is at once a coming-of-age story and a powerful evocation of what it takes to bring hope and justice to a system built to resist them both.
