About this ebook

Entertainers Roy and Dale Evans Rogers were thrilled when their little daughter Robin was born. But their excitement turned to concern when they were informed that Robin was born with Down's Syndrome and advised to "put her away." The Rogers ignored such talk and instead kept Robin, and she graced their home for two and a half years. Though Robin's time on earth was short, she changed her parents' lives and even made life better for other children born with special needs in the years to come.
Angel Unaware is Robin's account of her life as she looks down from heaven. As she speaks to God about the mission of love she just completed on earth, the reader sees how she brought her parents closer to God and encouraged them to help other children in need.
This book, which changed the way America treated children with special needs, is now available to a new generation. It is the perfect gift for parents of special needs children, parents grieving the death of a child, or anyone whose life has been touched by a special child.

Ratings and reviews

When I was a young girl, my mother told me I was named after ‘Robin’ in this book. It has forever had an impact on me as I continue supporting individuals with Down’s syndrome.

inspirational, actors, adversity, alternatively-abled I first read this book long before I went into nursing, and believe that it still has great value today. While we have made great strides in repairing many congenital heart defects, and in immunization, there are still problems in giving some children the best education for the individual. And some people continue to fail in recognizing the incredible value of people who are alternatively abled. This is a marvelous book for parents and others who need reassurance.

Such a wonderful perspective! We lost a full term baby on the 3rd dayof her little life and I can use this same perspective. Wonderful!
