Novel Bookstore in Memphis is hosting an event for former Tennessee Bar Journal editor Suzanne Craig Robertson's new book, "He Called Me Sister: A True Story of Finding Humanity on Death Row." The event will be on May 6 at 2 p.m CDT and will be a conversation between Robertson and former TBA president Bill Haltom. No advance registration is required. The memoir recounts the Robertson family's 15-year friendship with Cecil Johnson, who was on Tennessee's death row and was executed in 2009. Drawing from Johnson's own memoir, news accounts and court documents, the book also features interviews with many lawyers involved in the case. Preorders are available from Novel and other online retailers. A similar event is scheduled in Knoxville on April 27.
