The Darkest Hour takes you on a journey through Death Row's most rawest experiences. The reader is given an up close look at six individuals' lives before death row and the current reality of life on "The Row" as only known by those who live it daily. The Darkest Hour walks a fine line between being cold hearted and purely factual, versus being so maudlin that people will find it hard to digest. The author releases rays of light and hope in an otherwise dismal place.

<p>Very few people know much about prison, even less about death row. As one of the most shocking books written by a prisoner, this is an exceptionally well written book because the author, Nanon M. Williams, was a 17-year old kid sentenced to die in the most brutal of prisons. </p>
<p>It is here on Texas death row where hundreds of men have been executed that we learn of a boy who grows into manhood on his own terms, his own strengths of survival and through many devastating experiences show us the triumph of the human spirit. Still Surviving is a book that may be spoken of for years to come.</p>

“… this book will inspire you to view all people through the lens of empathy and compassion …” ~ book foreword by Susan Sarandon “The Darkest Hour: Shedding Light on the Impact of Isolation and Death Row in Texas Prisons” by Dr. Betty Gilmore and Nanon M. Williams sheds light on the widespread impact of extreme isolation experienced by thousands of incarcerated individuals in Texas prisons — many of whom will be integrated back into society. This book presents an in-depth view of the Texas prison system with a specific focus on death row and solitary confinement. The impact of living in severely restrictive conditions is examined through a multi-disciplinary lens that incorporates scientific research and expert opinion and includes powerful narratives from men who have been incarcerated for 10 or more years and the people that surround them. Factors such as childhood history, attachment, biology, poverty, race and other social influences are explored in relation to the events that led up to incarceration and the subsequent ability to obtain fair treatment throughout the legal process. In-depth stories of trauma, survival and growth guides readers through the experiences of these men, and the efforts made to preserve their own dignity in the face of adversity.
