Robert Eades wakes up every morning to make up for the time he’s lost and the damage he has done. Before the sun rises he’s out the door, behind the wheel of his taxi and looking for his first fare. Before his head hits the pillow, well after the sun rises, he’ll drive hundreds of miles, give rides to two dozen people, give advice to 10 kids, speak with politicians, go through two tanks of gas and stroll around the only neighborhood he has ever known.
He’s a believer in karma, and this is his penance, a way of repaying his debt to society beyond the time he spent in prison.
