You are a whole person. My books are for anyone learning to live whole, and help someone else do the same — and The Art of Lost Communication cards are for reaching back to the people who help you feel that way.

The Books

Two stories, one belief — that we're each more than one chapter.

For My Children

A Mother's Memoir of Love, Loss, and Hope

A memoir of adoption, loss, and reconnection, written as a letter to Robin's children — an honest, tender account of a family's story told with the same conviction that shapes her healthcare work: that everyone deserves to be seen as whole.

About Robin

RC

Robin is a U.S. Navy veteran and healthcare professional with 33 years of experience, including case management and work in organ and tissue donation. She holds a bachelor's degree in exercise science and a Master of Arts in Psychology for Health and Wellness, and brings a systems-minded, deeply human lens to everything she writes.

Off the page, she's a yoga teacher, a proud dog mom (and one very opinionated cat's assistant), and someone who believes the bravest thing any of us can do is tell the truth about our own story — and ask for the help we need.
