Reviews
Reading "Finding Joy On Death Row" opened a huge picture window for me to see the women and men on NC’s Death Row. What a gift Pastor Dewey Williams gives us to see the lives of these incredible men and women.
Dewey Williams weaves his own challenging story with the lives of the women and men incarcerated on Death Row. When he volunteered on Death Row he expected to give which he did. But the writer received so much in return from the men and women.
