HarperOne Presents: That Bird Has My Wings
HarperOne brings together an array of local writers, artists, and activists—including Don Lattin (former religion reporter at the San Francisco Chronicle)—to celebrate the publication of San Quentin death row inmate Jarvis Jay Masters’ That Bird Has My Wings. The powerful story of Masters’ childhood leading up to his conviction, and his subsequent spiritual transformation while behind bars, this memoir has been endorsed by Archbishop Desmond Tutu, who said: “His memoir is a plea for reform, for a common humanity, and I share his hope that this moving story will redouble our efforts to make sure that every child matters.” Drink tickets will be given away during the event and 10 copies of That Bird Has My Wings will be raffled.
