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

Thank you so much. This means an awful lot, for real, that you would read and take the time. So glad that you were moved by Rob and his story. He was a good person. I miss him a lot. Sincerely, Jeff

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?

I'm in 8th grade and am currently enrolled in Wight Foundation, a boarding school prep program in Newark. We have read "Best Intentions: The Education and Killing of Edmund Perry", which is about a boy similar to Peace. Was there any inspiration, such as Perry, to write this book? If so, can you explain how Peace and Perry are similar people; if not, can you please share your motivation in writing this story?
