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.

Wonderful story of a powerful journey

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was especially impactful to have Robin/Aisha herself narrate and sing her healing songs throughout. I highly recommend this audiobook.

Love is All

This story is gripping and beautiful in equal measure. Robin Aisha tells her story with heart and a loving spirit. I feel the healing this book talks of throughout has gifted me more than I can express in words. The spirit of love weaves its way through the story like a song.

I loved the audible version and being able to hear Robin sing.

A sensorial journey that restores and heals

Robin has created a way to bring each of us into her healing. As a fellow trauma survivor I can honestly say I was reticent- would the painful parts be too much? I needn’t have worried. She walked the line beautifully. She guided the understanding of the hard stuff but did not traumatize the reader. She guides us briefly through the pain and lets us rest and soak in the wisdom and healing she shares. A beautiful journey explained in the sensory experiences and memories of a child who survived and thrived. What a heart filling experience. You need this book!

Magnetic: A Rare and Deeply Moving Book

This is a rare and very special book. Each listener will have their own experience with this powerful, multilayered story, but I feel I am forever changed by Robin’s words. While her journey is beyond unsettling, her steadfast authenticity and commitment to her healing are inspirational and invite the listener to value their own truth. The detailed, engaging narration is much more than an account of a dramatic episode in one young girl’s life. It is an intricate unfoldment of compassion, mystery, and magic in the face of indifference, insanity, and brutality. This work is not simply a compelling hero’s journey. It is an immersive experience, a spiritual offering, that sings to the soul.

The raw honesty

This story was so beautiful! I cried as I heard the author say things that I have thought and felt. I was no longer alone.

Transformational!

Robin has the ability to tell her incredible story with such authenticity, beauty and vulnerability. She is a remarkable human whose story has the capacity to touch lives and heal hearts.
