"Living with Strangers is a beautifully written exploration of connection and belonging. The way she navigates cultural differences while seeking acceptance resonated with me. I found myself invested in her journey, feeling her joys and sorrows as if they were my own. This book is a must-read for anyone who has ever felt like an outsider or has experienced the American foster care system." — Angela Quijada-Banks, author of The Black Foster Youth Handbook

 

"In this memoir, Robin shares her journey as a foster teen navigating life in strangers’ homes. With the support of caring adults, she finds her way to college. What truly sets her story apart is her year in Kenya at nineteen, living with semi-nomadic tribes and teaching school. Her courage to embrace a new culture while searching for belonging is both surprising and inspiring." — David Ambroz, Author of A Place Called Home

 

"Robin’s compelling memoir, Living with Strangers, captures her experiences with and appreciation for the people of the Samburu and Rendille tribes in Northern Kenya. She arrived in Kenya with typical teenage anxiety — after struggling to find acceptance from her foster family — and learned to embrace local traditions and culture, as she searched for a place to belong." — Bill Ulfelder, Executive Director of the New York Nature Conservancy

 

"Weaving her stories as a survivor of the United States’ broken child welfare system and her year in Kenya at nineteen, Robin’s book is a deeply impactful illustration of how leaning into one’s vulnerability can lead to enlightenment and belonging." — Jennifer Pinder, Executive Director of You Gotta Believe
