Hi Jeff, thank you for this beautiful book about your friend Robert Peace - his story was as sad as it was gripping and you told it with grace. I felt a certain hopelessness throughout it though ... It is incredibly hard to escape your past, your beginnings, no matter ones intelligence and determination. Take care, Rachael ?
Jeff Hobbs
Thanks so much for reading and for reaching out with these kind words. Rob was a really good man. He is missed by many. I, along with his family and friends, am glad that he might continue to reach people and maybe teach a thing or two. He was a fantastic teacher and friend, and proceeds from the book are going toward a scholarship fund at St. Benedict's, in accordance with his mother's wishes, so that other young men can learn and make lasting friendships. All the best, sincerely, Jeff

Found 'Peace' at a bookstore in Berkeley, my alma mater, and could not put it down! I too worked at the univ cafeteria, a poor minority among peers with money and two-parent homes. You capture this, and the deep love of a parent and child who've struggled together, so well. Thank you. My questions: Do you think Rob would be alive if Carl hadn't stolen? Was Jackie aware of this thievery? Has Jackie been able to travel?
