Jeff Hobbs, April 20, 2025 Christ The First Fruits
Jeff Hobbs has been on Carol Fitzgerald's radar since she first interviewed him 11 years ago at a pre-publication event for THE SHORT AND TRAGIC LIFE OF ROBERT PEACE. So, she was happy to catch up with him about his latest work, SEEKING SHELTER: A Working Mother, Her Children, and a Story of Homelessness in America, which is a Bookreporter Bets On selection. Jeff explains how he approached the book and why he wrote it through the eyes of three characters: Evelyn, Wendi, and Evelyn's teenage son, Orlando. He discusses writing it as reconstructive journalism and why he felt that would be most effective. Jeff and Carol talk about the issue of homelessness, as well as home instability and how the recent L.A. fires have impacted this crisis even more.

Jeff Hobbs is a best-selling author, but the way he listens to his subjects and retells their stories brings a deeply human perspective to really difficult topics. His newest, Seeking Shelter, is the story of homelessness told through the eyes of Evelyn, a devoted and fierce mother of six, determined to keep her kids out of the welfare system. Jeff spent hundreds of hours talking to Evelyn and her kids about surviving the streets as a family (though not unscathed). Jeff is a compelling storyteller, a thoughtful author, and his subjects trust him with some of the toughest moments of their lives. Tune in to find out why.

Jeff Hobbs is the bestselling author of "The Short and Tragic Life of Robert Peace." His new book is a groundbreaking look at the school-to-prison pipeline and life in the juvenile “justice” system.There has been very little written about juvenile detention and the path to justice. For many kids, a mistake made at age thirteen or fourteen—often resulting from external factors coupled with a biologically immature brain—can resonate through the rest of their lives, making high school difficult, college nearly impossible, and a middle-class life a mere fantasy.In "Children of the State," Jeff Hobbs challenges any preconceived perceptions about how the juvenile justice system works—and demonstrates: No one so young should ever be considered irredeemable.

Purpose of life connected directly to the Hero you seek to become or not seek to become. so often we look in life for our purpose. Also, we seek a hero, but very rarely do we assume that they are on the same path in life and that if you find one you find the other. However, I attempt to explain that, that is the case, meaning if you find the Hero you find your Purpose, and if you locate your purpose within your self they lie the Hero.

High school graduation is often thought of as a celebration. As it should be, of course- it is quite an accomplishment for many students to finish high school. But when we focus solely on the celebratory aspects of this milestone, we often don't leave space to discuss the grief that comes with leaving a familiar place with consistency of schedules, expectations, and friends. Going to college brings many adventures but also brings space between relationships and changes in routine, finances and expectations that can trigger intense feelings of grief. Show Them You're Good, Mr. Hobbs' latest book, highlights the struggles of several high school boys as they navigate through the college application process, along with high school and family struggles. Jeff Hobbs grew up in Kennett Square, PA. He is the author of The Tourists, a national bestseller, and The Short and Tragic Life of Robert Peace, a New York Times bestseller, notable book of the year, and winner of the LA Times Book Prize. Show Them You're Good is his second work of nonfiction. He lives in Los Angeles with his wife and two children. His books can be found on Amazon, or by supporting your local book store. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
