Walter’s Reviews > The Short and Tragic Life of Robert Peace: A Brilliant Young Man Who Left Newark for the Ivy League > Status Update

An equally compelling and disheartening biography (and, in reality, sociological hagiography of a bygone time and place) and a veritable page-turner. It's as well- and lovingly written as it is heart-breaking, for this tale of promise realized too briefly and then forever lost is so well-told that it's hard not to continue reading it even as it wounds. Let's hope that its lessons are learned and other lives saved.
