Hi and thank you so much for this kindest of notes, it means a lot, for real. I’m sorry I’m just getting to it now. I’m so glad you were moved by Rob and his story. He was a good person and I miss him. The film adaptation is currently on Netflix and that was a special experience to share with his mom. As to your question, Jackie and Rob’s friends still have not spoken since he died. I don’t believe they ever will. What I will say is that sometimes still Jackie will ask me how they are doing, and she’ll ask me to pass along her best to them. So there is still some caring there. But to be blunt, she is still very angry with them. On their side, they just want the best for her. It means a lot that you asked. Thank you, sincerely, Jeff

Dear Jeff, Thank you for your excellent book on Robert Peace. I must say I felt profoundly impacted by the tragic story of Peace. It made me thinking about the root course of the Black Americans' predicament. I wrote a review on Goodreads. I thought I might just share it with you: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/6780953123?book_show_action=false. Regards Yili Zhu from Australia

Great Book. I listened to it on audible. 1.Do you foresee it being turned into a movie? 2. Did Rob selling drugs through your dorm room and apartment ever create a conflict between him and you or ty. Did you never worry about a blemish on your records if he was caught by the Police? 4. Did Jackie Peace really never had any suspicion that his son was dealing drugs, or was using them as much as he was?
