“This book is a life-changer. Thomas Cahill has
shown—through the extraordinary life of one man—that God works
everywhere and can bring the most beautiful soul to maturity in
even the most horrifying circumstances. If you read his story you
will never forget Dominique Green, nor will you ever feel the same
way about our courts, our prisons, and our criminal justice
system.” —Sister Helen Prejean, author of Dead Man
Walking
“Though this is a book that ends in death, it does not end in
despair. Read it and discover how even the obscenity of capital
punishment can be transformed into an occasion of light and peace.”
—Desmond Tutu, Archbishop Emeritus of Cape Town, South Afric
”A deeply moving narrative about a man transformed as he faced an
unjust execution.” —James H. Cone, author of Black Theology
and Black Power
“I expect A Saint on Death Row to become a classic in the growing
struggle to cleanse this nation finally of the sin of the death
penalty.” —Jonathan Kozo
“Riveting. . . . [A] poignant tribute. . . . Cahill’s moving tale
shines a sharp light on a negligent and flawed justice
system.” —The Christian Science Monitor
“An inspiring story of growth and redemption. . . . Cahill has
achieved something grander than straight biography here: an
intervention in public memory.” —Texas Observer
“An affecting book. . . . Cahill stimulates deep thought about
good and evil, and he is an intelligent, engaging historian.”
—The Dallas Morning News
“Intensely powerful. . . . A case history of the failures of
society. . . . There is so much in this meticulously researched and
clearly explained book to make you think.” —Washington
Lawyer
“Powerful. . . . [A] story of redemption and forgiveness. . . .
In patient detail, [Cahill] captures a young street kid responding
to [the death penalty] with such growing equanimity, grace, and
saintliness. . . . [An] excellent book.” —Baltimore City
Paper
“Remarkable. . . . Cahill’s book stimulates deep thought about
good and evil. . . . Readers could count themselves foolish to pass
by any book he writes. . . . An affecting book.” —The Tampa
Bay Times
“Moving. . . . A powerful challenge to any notion that all is
more or less OK with the administration of criminal justice in the
US. . . . Once you’ve gotten to know [Dominique Green] in Cahill’s
pages, [he] is not likely to slip very quickly from your
memory.” —Richard Bernstein, The Daily Beast
“Everyone who reads [A Saint on Death Row] will be touched by it.
. . . Dominique’s shining example of a rehabilitated life, indeed a
rebirth within a living death, will surely stand as silent witness
against the continued employment of the death penalty.”

“Compelling.” —The Miami Herald
“Cahill reveals the stomach-knotting circumstances of Dominique’s
childhood years with great sensitivity. . . . This is not merely an
academic account of miscarried justice. [Cahill is] lending [his]
voice to someone who has been dehumanized, debased. . . . Cahill’s
central question lingers like the burn of stomach acid in the back
of one’s throat: What did we gain—what?—by killing him?”
—Paste Magazine
“An inspiring example of human development on Death Row.”
—America Magazine
