Brilliant Collection of Essays
I see from the essays that she is a person of deep thought, a grit that goes beyond simple determination that has enabled her to overcome difficult circumstances and create a life that meets her own interests and benefits soooo many others. In addition, I discovered a whole new side of her as a wordsmith! Her performances on the page as are polished as her work on stage.

basically all the feels!
While the stories are Robinson’s own, there’s a universality of women’s lived experience that is relatable and ultimately inspiring. I want to get copies for my women friends to show them, “Here’s someone who gets it,” and for my guy friends to say, “This is what you need to understand.”

I keep getting asked – HOW WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO PURCHASE STAGES? I love that people are trying to be conscientious consumers! I will say first, I would be thrilled if you buy my book in any format from wherever is most convenient. THE AUDIOBOOK WILL BE OUT IN NOVEMBER! But if you have the means to choose the method, than here are my suggestions.
Suggested Ways to Purchase Stages: My Life in Stories

Get your copy at your local bookstore. If they do not have it in stock, ask them to order it. They can!

Come to the Winchester Book Gallery, in Winchester, VA on November 16th. I’ll be there telling stories and signing books from 11am – 1:00pm! If you can’t make it in November but can get to the WBG, stop in and purchase your copy there.
