Sfgate -- Kathleen Brown helped Ryan decide / She sent book dad wrote about death penalty to governor

"Thought you'd find this book informative as you contemplate your decision," she wrote.

She didn't immediately get a response, and she said she "assumed it was a note in a bottle thrown in the ocean."

But that bottle reached Ryan's shore. He called Brown last week and told her the book had profoundly affected him. He also alerted her to be ready for a major announcement he was making soon on the subject.

How a book you give someone can make a difference.
