Hi, I just wanted to say that The Short and Tragic Life of Robert Peace is one of the best books I have ever read. I was also wondering, how your opinion changed much of Rob since writing this? How does it compare knowing his whole life story vs previous perceptions of him as an old friend and former roommate who seemed to keep much of his internal struggles and history to himself?

Jeff Hobbs:
I apologize this is not a question, but after reading your book I just have to thank you. I am a college student, a broke one at that when I bought your book. I just wanted to acknowledge like many others the dedication it took to write this book and also the courage you had to have on making this your second book. I just wanted to say thank you for sharing this wonderful story with the world. Are you writing another?

Hi Jeff, I am absolutely MOVED by the life of Robert Peace and in my opinion, his name will live on because of you. Your book may very well save a lot of lives or "wake up" those that may be in a similar situation. Robert Peace did not die in vain and perhaps God put him on earth for those to learn from his mistakes. My heart breaks for Jackie. Is she still living in Newark. Is there a way to reach her, via email?

Hi Jeff, Inasmuch as the story about Rob was also a story about you, did you find it difficult to tell? Did you get any push back from others in the story? Did you ever feel threatened in the course of your research? I hope your wonderful book inspires people in difficult circumstances to see their own potential and elite schools to do more for students facing the kind of transition Rob was. Susan
