Her new memoir is The Education of an Idealist.
At The Week magazine Power shared six of her favorite books, including:
Just Mercy by Bryan Stevenson (2014).Read about another entry on the list.
In this enraging yet ultimately inspiring memoir, the founder of the Equal Justice Initiative recounts his work championing those denied fair trials, whether because of their skin color or their lack of means. Stevenson, whether in the Supreme Court or with an incarcerated client, never loses sight of those he refuses to leave behind.
Just Mercy is among Brené Brown's six top books that inspire bravery.
