Loving Bravely: A Memoir Miraculous Near Death of a Girl, Abducted, Shot During War, and Sung Back to Life by an African Woman

Loving Bravely reveals our human capacity to rise from the ashes.

Robin was eight years old when she was abducted by an American man, taken out of the US, assaulted, and abandoned in the wilds of Rhodesia, Africa at the height of the civil war in 1977.

She survived the night in the hollow of a tree. Rural villagers gave her refuge and home, where one mother's nurturing song restored her heart.

In this new life, she was spotted and shot by a soldier. The mother found Robin's lifeless body and sang a Medicine Song so potent that Robin heard it from the other side of the veil.

You'll discover the universal power that miraculously returned Robin to life and awakened her vibrant purpose, which is to enliven people's deepest sense of wholeness.

Forty years later, longing for reconnection, Robin journeys back to now Zimbabwe, Africa. She learns a grandmother who hid her during the war from threat of discovery was told by a neighbor, "Don't bother with her, it is too dangerous."

The grandmother told them, "I won't throw her away, she is a living human being." Join Robin as she sings a hymn of praise for the people who saved her life.

This beautifully honest account of survival and restoration carries the potency to revitalize each of us. This book holds inspiration for worldwide compassionate action and celebrates what Loving Bravely truly means.
