Author John W. Roberts’ New Book, "With Eyes Wide Open," is the Story of Quentin Marshall and His False Charge of Rape and Murder

Upper Marlboro, MD, February 20, 2023 --(PR.com)-- John W. Roberts, a retired college administrator and professor of English and folklore, has completed his new book “With Eyes Wide Open”: a gripping story that follows Quentin Marshall, an African American man, falsely charged with the sexual assault and murder of a white woman, and the court case that follows that seeks to vilify an innocent man, made out to be a monster.

Published by Newman Springs Publishing, John W. Roberts’ potent tale isn’t just another story of wrongful conviction of an innocent black man, but instead through its many overlapping monologues by individuals either victimizing Quentin or are impacted by what happens to him, this book seeks to be a cautionary tale of the effects of systematic racism and how it corrodes the actions, beliefs, and decisions of usually well-intentioned people.

Readers who wish to experience this moving work can purchase “With Eyes Wide Open” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iBooks Store, Amazon, or Barnes and Noble.
