Picking Cotton: Our Memoir of Injustice and Redemption

Jennifer Thompson was raped at knifepoint by a man who broke into her apartment while she slept.

She was able to escape and eventually identified Ronald Cotton as her attacker.

Ronald insisted that she was mistaken - but Jennifer's positive identification was the compelling evidence that put him behind bars.

After 11 years, Ronald was allowed to take a DNA test that proved his innocence.

He was released after serving more than a decade in prison for a crime he never committed.

Two years later, Jennifer and Ronald met face to face - and forged an unlikely friendship that changed both of their lives.
