About this ebook
The story that changed the lives of millions offers help and hope to those who have suffered the loss of a loved one.
In the 1950s, doctors often advised parents of disabled babies to put them away in institutions or homes. But when entertainers Roy Rogers and Dale Evans Rogers discovered their new baby, Robin, had Down Syndrome, they were determined to take her home and give her their love.
It wasn't easy. Through countless surgeries and sleepless nights, the Rogers found themselves exhausted and worried--until they began to notice a change in their lives. Somehow the unexplainable and unexpected was happening--Robin was helping Roy and Dale draw closer to God and to each other. Robin's brief life also persuaded them to do all they could to help others in similar circumstances.
Told from Robin's point of view in heaven, Angel Unaware is a touching story that has inspired millions of readers around the world. Whether you are a parent of a special needs child or have experienced the loss of a loved one, Robin's story will bring you the peace and understanding you need in difficult times.

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!
