Schuyler and Rob

Originally uploaded by dynamist.

When I met up with Rob and Schuyler in Texas last weekend, he gifted me with a galley copy of his book. I was honored and thrilled, and devoured it in a couple of days. (I also morphed into Bipolar Traveler while I read Schuyler’s Monster, laughing out loud and then choking back tears on flights to Tennessee and Arkansas.)

I can only tell you what I told Rob: He’s written a deeply involving, intensely moving book. I was surprised at what a page-turner I found it, since - after all - I’ve been tracking his and Schuyler’s story since before she was born. But Rob’s got a knack for hooking the reader that I’d put up there with Kazuo Ishiguro’s talent for the same.

Now, Kirkus Reviews has given Rob his first published review. They loved it.

Relating the battle for his exceptional daughter with nimble wit, ardor and considerable descriptive ability, Rummel-Hudson has evolved from blogger to author.

(You can already pre-order a copy from Amazon.)
