Stolen time by Sunny Jacobs

 

In 1976 a twenty-eight-year-old mother of two, Sunny Jacobs and her partner, Jesse Tafero, were wrongfully sentenced to death by the Florida courts for the murder of two police officers.

 

Sunny spent five years on death row in solitary confinement. In a tiny cell, her only lifeline was the stream of letters between herself and Jesse each echoing the other’s conviction that the truth would soon be revealed. She refused to lose hope, even though the state had allowed falsified testimonies to condemn her.

 

Then in 1981 Sunny’s sentence was reduced to life yet Jesse remained on death row. Sunny fought on to prove their innocence – until in 1992 she was finally released, seventeen years after her ordeal began. But it was two years too late for Jesse, who had died in a horrible botched execution that caused outrage the world over.

 

Sunny Jacobs’s story is a shining example of a woman’s triumph over despair – her resilience, her unshakeable joy, and her astounding ability to forgive make this an unforgettable memoir.
