“Robin Page balances the quiet exterior with her characters’ public selves and the quiet, intense rage that burns alongside the trauma that they carry. For this, the novel’s title and the pages that follow are a promise fulfilled. Page announces her debut as a confident voice with much depth both within her lines and in the pockets of space between them, breathing life into her protagonists and delivering on what may inspire many discussions on the places and people we hide to when we want to forget.” — Morgan Jerkins, New York Times bestselling author of This Will Be My Undoing A lyrical, haunting debut that explores the power of parenthood, identity, lust, and the legacy of trauma, as the lives of two neighbors are upended by ghosts from their past lives. When the news of her mother’s death reaches Jocelyn Morrow, it stirs up memories of her traumatic childhood. She is a mother herself now, to six-year-old Lucy; living a life of privilege in Southern California with her husband Conrad; moving in a world of wealthy white women, even though she is not white; as far away from her past as she can get. Her designer clothes cover a net of scars across her back, and she hides an even deeper mark—a fundamental stain, something she believes invited her abuse. She also has a blossoming secret: she is becoming obsessed with Kate, her tennis coach. Her neighbor Simon Bonaventure is a successful landscape architect and a Rwandan refugee. He too is haunted, by the wife and daughter who were taken from him in the genocide twenty years ago. The ghosts of those he could not save, and those who took them, are never far, and now he has received a letter—allegedly from his daughter, grown, and full of questions for a father she doesn’t know. As Jocelyn and Simon begin a tentative friendship, they forge a bond out of their dark secret histories—a bond that may be their only hope of being pulled back from the abyss.

When creating The Mother Goose Sticker Book, Robin Page was inspired by the art in the antique children''s books she collects. The words are Mother Goose, and the pictures are thirty-two brightly colored, reusable stickers, in a strikingly designed book that''s a read-aloud as well as matching game. Children can recite the familiar verses as they find the stickers that show Humpty Dumpty on his wall, a cow jumping over the moon, and Little Miss Muffet on her tuffet. Visual clues enable children to see the connection between words and illustrations as they make their own Mother Goose picture book. And once they''re done, they can peel off the stickers and start again! A durable binding and reusable stickers make this a keepsake to be treasured for years.

This publication includes numerous letters that can help simplify the task of communicating with opposing counsel, witnesses, clients, the court and others.
