The Redemption of Bobby Love

The young Walter Miller was a product of his time. Growing up Black in the Jim Crow American South, he was in trouble with the police before his fourteenth birthday and, soon enough, was facing a thirty-year prison sentence. But Walter was smart. He escaped prison and fled to New York with a hundred dollars in his pocket. He changed his name to Bobby Love and started over, living a crime-free life for nearly forty years with a steady job, a loving wife, a church-going family. Until the FBI came knocking and the facade came crashing down. The Redemption of Bobby Love is an incredible true story that lays bare the enduring themes of being Black in America. Fuelled by the drama of a jailbreak and the suspense of a man on the run, at its heart it is a remarkable tale about breaking free from society's prejudices and making the most of second chances.
