Description
This is the moving story of Lesley Gosch, sent to death row in Texas after being accused, questionably, of murdering Rebecca Patton, the wife of the President of the Castle Hills National Bank, San Antonio. Through the eyes of Joy Elder we experience the reality of life on death row: the horrors of the environment; the terrible uncertainty of not knowing exactly when his life would be taken; and the agony of enduring numerous false alarms. Yet, remarkably, in the midst of this darkness, Lesley’s very disciplined spiritual journey gave him the strength to come to terms daily with his predetermined death, without succumbing to self-pity or long-term despair. Lesley was finally executed by lethal injection but wanted his untimely and brutal death to ‘witness to the world’ the inhumanity of capital punishment.
