By: Christina Mancuso Feb. 08, 2016
Set at the turn of the nineteenth century, "The Improbable Wonders of Moojie Littleman" is a heartrending, coming-of-age story, with a dose of humor and magical realism. After his adoptive mother dies in a freak accident, eight year-old, disabled, bi-racial Moojie is sent by his disapproving father to live at St. Isidore's Fainting Goat Dairy, where he befriends a clan of outcasts from an alternate universe. Six years later, this forbidden friendship and subsequent events reveal an extraordinary boy's tale of loss and connection, first love, and self-discovery.

Robin Gregory is a devoted wife and mother, writer, and amateur mapmaker. Born in Pensacola, Florida, she grew up in California, accompanied by seven siblings, and surrounded by horses, real cowboys, and the occasional rattlesnake. She has always been drawn to helping others, a trait that began, to her mother's horror, with bringing home swallow chicks stricken from their nests. She has worked as a journalist, lay minister, and infant massage instructor for mothers and babies at risk. Her favorite things: silence, foggy days, chai, and ladybugs. She lives with her husband and son in a Carmel cottage old enough to make you sneeze. "The Improbable Wonders of Moojie Littleman" is her debut novel.
