He was plagued by financial struggles and his father's incarceration from "summary" of The Short and Tragic Life of Robert Peace by Jeff Hobbs
Robert Peace found himself facing an uphill battle from a young age, as he was burdened by both financial difficulties and the absence of his father due to incarceration. These challenges weighed heavily on him throughout his life, shaping his experiences and decisions in significant ways. The constant struggle to make ends meet and provide for himself and his family created a sense of urgency and pressure that followed him wherever he went. From his childhood in the crime-ridden streets of Newark to his college years at Yale, the specter of financial instability loomed large, influencing his choices and priorities. Additionally, the absence of his father, who was serving time in prison, left a void in Robert's life that was impossible to fill. Despite his mother's best efforts to support him and instill a sense of resilience, the absence of a paternal figure had a profound impact on Robert's sense of identity and belonging. These dual challenges of financial struggles and familial incarceration created a complex web of obstacles that Robert had to navigate on a daily basis. The weight of these burdens often felt insurmountable, pushing him to make difficult decisions and compromises in order to survive and thrive in a world that seemed determined to keep him down.
