During the final three years of psychotherapy, she used her own poetry as the backbone of her remediation, and in so doing, she finally found the voice that would heal her wounds. Writing her story freed her emotions, allowing her to put her past to rest.
Robyn has published her poetry in the form of a manual in order to help sister survivors in their quest for healing. It is her hope that by reading this book and by using the writing prompts to write their own stories, others will discover their own voices more quickly and move on to a resolution of the painful issues in their lives.
Robyn is a retired middle school teacher and lives with her husband of forty-five years in New Jersey. In addition to writing, she enjoys traveling, art, music, cooking, photography, and visiting gardens and arboreta. She is especially proud of her three sons, who have all grown to be responsible and independent adults and devoted husbands.view less
