Autobiography: general; Memoirs; True crime; True stories of heroism, endurance & survival

The inspiring, dramatic and heartwarming true story of an escaped

convict, the love of his life, and how we all deserve a second chance,

which captured the imaginations of millions on Humans of New York.

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, like so many young Black men, once he'd

landed in the criminal justice system it was hard to find a way out.

Soon enough, he was facing a thirty-year prison sentence. But

Walter

was smarter than his jailers. He escaped prison and fled to New

York

with a hundred dollars in his pocket. He changed his name to Bobby

Love, and began again - living a crime-free life for nearly forty years,

with a steady job, a loving wife, a church-going family. And a big

secret. Until the FBI came knocking one cold winter morning, and it all

came crashing down. The Redemption of Bobby Love is

an

incredible true story that illuminates some of 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 is a

remarkable tale about

breaking free from society's prejudices and making the most of a

precious second chance.

A compelling story for underdogs everywhere, it's proof that transformation is possible and redemption is real.
