"Wonder how it could be that 126 wrongly convicted people on death row have been exonerated? What's wrong with our court system? Here's a promise: if you accompany Ms. Lytle into these five stories you'll not only "get it," you may be moved to join our efforts to change it."
—Sister Helen Prejean, author of Dead Man Walking and Death of Innocents

"Damn, I wish I had written this book! Leslie Lytle has done a masterful job of drawing out her subjects in interviews (as Studs Terkel might have) and telling their stories in fast-paced narratives (as John Grisham might have). Executioner's Doorstep is a truly compelling work."

"No issue is more important than innocence in the current death penalty discussion.  In "Execution's Doorstep," Leslie Lytle has made an invaluable contribution to this discussion with her detailed and thoroughly readable description of the lives of five men from death row.  These stories would be incredible except that they are told with such skill as to become real and believable.  The impression this book leaves is a strong and important one."
