Join your friends at Winstead for an exclusive virtual book discussion with former Winstead attorney, entrepreneur and author Brittany Barnett. WFAA-TV investigative reporter Tanya Eiserer will interview Brittany about her new book, A Knock at Midnight: A Story of Hope, Justice and Freedom.

Named the #1 Book of 2020 by Amazon Editors, A Knock at Midnight is described as: “An inspiring true story about unwavering belief in humanity and an urgent call to free those buried alive by America's unjust legal system—from a gifted young lawyer whose journey marks the emergence of a powerful new voice in the movement to transform the system.”
