Books with author Patrick Robinson

When a group of black skinned girls get taken off their islands with the promise of greener pastures and the allure of better life out in the modern world by a Pastor whom they had trusted for years, little would they know how their lives were about to be altered forever. In a mix of deception, betrayal, loyalty and revenge, follow Sheila in her ordeal to find penance not just for herself, but for her fallen sisters when they become victims of a vicious circle of slave traders who would stop at nothing to make sure they got paid. Will she come out atop or become a victim crying for justice like the millions whom had gone before her? What will become of Sheila when she is left for dead after the most inhumane acts one can ever come to imagine, were perpetrated on her? Resistance goes a long way into showing you just what the human mind is capable of and how karma is always a swing away as it lies in the shadows.

A Marsh Guide brings a lame child to the settlement. She insists the girl be adopted by the wife of the Chief and brought up as her own. When this is refused, a curse is put on the sons of the Chief and they die upon reaching puberty. The people of the settlement make an annual trek to escape the harsh winter and stay by the lake to celebrate the Midwinter Solstice. During the festivities the Shaman blesses them, giving hope the curse will be lifted, but an unseen danger lurks, one that will take many lives.Pat Robinson was inspired to write 'The Shaman’s Blessing' during a trip to the Norwegian fjords. The magical scenery and midwinter colours sparked a memory of earlier journeys where she visited the Sounds (Fjords) of New Zealand. Pat found that both landscapes evoked a deep love of our Earth, as well as fuelling the imagination with elements of pure fantasy.
