Time by Fox and Rob Richardson
The twenty-one years that kept Rob separated from his wife, Fox, and their six sons were long enough. As Rob survived two decades at America’s bloodiest penitentiary and Fox raised their sons solo, they never stopped fighting for Rob’s freedom and for their futures against the statistical odds. All the while, it was love that carried them through.
“This story has to be told. This book has to be read. It’s so incredibly perfect for the times we live in–bad personal decisions, misplaced accountability, genuine redemption, and eventually dignity and justice. It’s better than fiction because it actually happened. And it’s proof that in the end, love really does conquer all.” – Dr. Frank I. Luntz, political and communications commentator
