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?

Jeff Hobbs Hi--thank you so much for this kind message. It means a lot that you would read and respond to Rob's story, and then reach out so thoughtfully. It really does. And I'm sorry for the years-long delay in responding to this--I really don't spend time on social websites but am trying to be better as my next book, Show Them You're Good, comes out in August. It's about young men finishing high school in different neighborhoods and aspiring for college. I wish you all the best on your journey, sincerely, Jeff

Hello Jeff, id like to thank you for the wonderful book that you have written knowing how hard it would have been for you writing about one of your closest friend loss. What or who do you think had the most impact in success of Roberts success with education?

T Collins asked Jeff Hobbs:

Thank you for writing such a moving account of a gifted, but complicated young ma. After reading your book, I returned to Malcolm Gladwell's book, Outliers, and I can't help but wonder, how much of Rob's fate was due to circumstances beyond his control. Your thoughts?
