The essential account of R.

Kelly would struggle first against Covid, then against a debilitating stroke, and finally move forward into a challenging recovery. It’s the story of a dedicated hospital staff, the turmoil of family and friends, and the depiction of how a wife’s love, and God’s grace, can rescue a man adrift.
