520    Winner of the 2018 National Council on Crime & 
       Delinquency's Media for a Just Society Awards Winner of 
       the 2017 Goddard Riverside Stephan Russo Book Prize for 
       Social Justice "Valuable ... [like Michelle] 
       Alexander'sThe New Jim Crow." 'Los Angeles Review of Books
       "Susan Burton is a national treasure ... her life story is
       testimony to the human capacity for resilience and 
       recovery ... [Becoming Ms. Burton is] a stunning memoir." 
       'Nicholas Kristof, in The New York Times Winner of the 
       prestigious NAACP Image Award, a uniquely American story 
       of trauma, incarceration, and "the breathtaking resilience
       of the human spirit" (Michelle Alexander) 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. After a childhood of immense pain, poverty, 
       and abuse in Los Angeles, the tragic loss of her son led 
       her into addiction, which in turn led to arrests and 
       incarceration. During the War on Drugs, Burton was 
       arrested and would cycle in and out of prison for more 
       than fifteen years. When, by chance, she finally received 
       treatment, her political awakening began and she became a 
       powerful advocate for "a more humane justice system guided
       by compassion and dignity" (Booklist, starred review). Her
       award-winning organization, A New Way of Life, has 
       transformed the lives of more than one thousand formerly 
       incarcerated women and is an international model for a 
       less punitive and more effective approach to 
       rehabilitation and reentry. Winner of an NAACP Image Award
       and named a "Best Book of 2017" by the Chicago Public 
       Library, here is an unforgettable book about "the 
       breathtaking resilience of the human spirit" (Michelle 
       Alexander).
