Publisher's summary
My parents both left this planet covered in glitter. Death came for each of them right in the middle of what they were working on. As I held and kissed them for the last time, patches of glitter transferred to my hands and face like tiny passed torches. For as much as the grief burned, there was no getting around it—the light that had been on them was now on me.
In the grand scope of things, glitter may not seem like much. But in a way, it’s everything: a responsibility to infinity, to reflect the spark at the heart of it all.
—Robin Brown
The first book to quilt the spirit of a wildly successful international clothing brand among the scraps of childhood trauma, Glitter Saints is the story of Robin Brown, creator of Magnolia Pearl. It’s a mining of tragedy for the kind of magic that creates and sustains—a sharp-eyed, soft-hearted, stubborn hope that’s the rarest raw material.

For David Goggins, childhood was a nightmare--poverty, prejudice, and physical abuse colored his days and haunted his nights. But through self-discipline, mental toughness, and hard work, Goggins transformed himself from a depressed, overweight young man with no future into a US Armed Forces icon and one of the world's top endurance athletes. The only man in history to complete elite training as a Navy SEAL, Army Ranger, and Air Force tactical air controller, he went on to set records in numerous endurance events.

If you ask a Finn, they will likely be as baffled as you are. That’s why Melanie Dower, an expat who has been living in Finland for the past decade, has taken up the charge. Her vantage as an outsider entrenched in Finnish culture uniquely positions her to identify the keys to Finnish happiness that elude the rest of the world and that Finns take for granted. From sauna to strong social safety nets, Finnish life is made up of a constellation of habits and structures that leave its residents relaxed, healthy, and fulfilled.

Ian Karmel has weighed eight pounds and he has weighed 420 pounds and right now he’s almost exactly in between the two, but this book is not a weight-loss book. It’s about being a fat person in a skinny world. It’s about gym class and football practice, about chicken wings and juice cleanses, about airplane seats and roller coasters, about fat jokes and Jabba the Hutt, about crying in the Big and Tall section and the joys of being a sneakerhead, about prediabetes and gout, and about realizing that you actually don’t want to eat yourself to death and hoping it’s not too late.

A year without touch. Women are warned of invisibility as they age, but this was an extreme loneliness no one can prepare you for. When the opportunity to sublet a friend’s apartment in Paris arose, MacNicol jumped on it.

A story that’s pulling every heart string that you cannot put the book down, yet you have to close it now and then to see, taste and feel the words. So deep yet Robin found the simplest way to share. So grateful for this brave and beautiful heart. May peace be with you, love.

“Bring roses to the places in pieces…
you struggle to love in your own heart.”-Robin Brown
A gorgeous heart-opening retelling of a childhood that would’ve irreparably damaged another, but not for Robin- who transform truly heinous personal trespasses into wearable art, and words, for all.
What sets this book apart from any other memoir is the soulful and generous spirit in which it is told. I marveled at Robin’s ability to neutrally and compassionately communicate the tragic failings of her upbringing while also being truthful. I won’t sugar coat it- I thought my childhood was hard but listening to this, my jaw dropped several times. However, I was never trauma triggered. I think this has everything to do with Robin. She is a healer through and through.
I first encountered Robin’s revolutionary and unique energy through her clothing line, Magnolia Pearl. Whimsy, a childlike spirit, radiant joy, wisdom, soulful depth… flew off the hanger and into my heart. I was hooked. I wasn’t surprised to find these exact same qualities in this book.
Thank you, Robin for sharing your story with us. Now when I wear the kitten patches, bunny rabbits, strawberries, patchwork, and unfinished hems on my MP clothing, I have the privilege of knowing you!
