A deep biography of a life short-lived, this book tells the story of Robert Peace—a Yale graduate and a brilliant student throughout his academic journey.
If his life were to be represented as a symbol, it would be a ‘V’—one branch embodying his intelligence, dedication to loved ones, and deep love for his parents; the other branch representing the path he shouldn’t have taken, marked by his years as a drug dealer, which ultimately led to his tragic end.
At first, I believed it was the circumstances that pushed him toward the wrong path. But later, I disagreed with myself.
In life, we all face moments when we feel utterly shattered and left without choices. Yet, from deep within, we realize it’s not the end and that we must move forward. We try to find a positive path to continue our journey. Such a path always exists—the question is, are we able to find it?
The impact of this book stayed with me for days after finishing it. Robert felt like someone I knew very well.
This book is a highly recommended read, especially for teenagers.
