" Frogs and Snails and Mobster Tales is the story of one little boy, a courageous survivor who poignantly paints a vivid picture of abuse, neglect, and family dysfunction, including addiction, co-dependency, family conflict, unresolved loss and grief.

You will be moved by his resilient nature as he faces many challenges and much adversity with the resources of a child, yet he keeps  getting back up every single time that he was knocked down.  Little Robert keeps on moving forward , desipte all the trauma and turmoi he keeps tucked away inside.

This is truly a book about hope in the most deperate circumstances. Finding a voice, dealing with the trauma and pain, getting help, coming to terms with the huge price paid through the years, making peace with the past, coming to a place of forgiveness - all create the possiblity of healing and moving forward."

"Robert has dedicated his life to helping those in extreme need. Frogs and Snails and Mobster Tales is a story of a seemingly perfect family, yet behind the thin veil, Robert and his siblings lived in a world of deceit, crime and abuse. This is a critical childhood account of pain, yet more importantly of healing. This book will give courage and support to many survivors.”
