08.04: The Short and Tragic Life of Robert Peace

When Jeff Hobbs arrived at Yale University, he became fast friends with the man who would be his college roommate for four years, Robert Peace. Robert's life was rough from the beginning in the crime-ridden streets of Newark in the 1980s. But Robert was a brilliant student, and it was supposed to get easier when he was accepted to Yale.

It's about the collision of two fiercely insular worlds — the ivy-covered campus of Yale and the slums of Newark — and the difficulty of going from one to the other and then back again.
