Sleeping Tigers

2011 Book Of The Year Finalist, Foreword Reviews.

"Sleeping Tigers is the kind of book you wish didn’t have to end.  Fast-moving and funny, loaded with sex, adventure, and characters who feel like your oldest friends, it takes the reader through fabulous, keenly-observed settings as it follows one woman on a brave journey of self-discovery.  Robinson’s prose crackles with wit and humanity – it brims with all the energy that’s released when life and love are unleashed and allowed to roam. "    —Elisabeth Brink, author of Save Your Own

Jordan O'Malley has everything she ever wanted: a job she loves, a beautiful home, and a dependable boyfriend. When her life unravels after a breast cancer scare, Jordan decides to join her wildest childhood friend in San Francisco and track down her drifter brother, Cam, who harbors secrets of his own. When Cam suddenly flees the country, Jordan follows, determined to bring him home. Her journey takes her to the farthest reaches of majestic Nepal, where she encounters tests—and truths—about love and family that she never could have imagined. Funny, heartbreaking, and suspenseful, Sleeping Tigers reminds us all that sometimes it's better to follow your heart instead of a plan.

Read more praise for The Gerbil Farmer's Daughter >

“What kind of man becomes a Navy Officer, then sits on his ship in the middle of the ocean dreaming of gerbils?” 
That's the question my sister-in-law asked a few years ago that provoked me to wonder why my father started secretly raising gerbils in our Virginia garage and eventually turned gerbil farming into his second career. 
Whether you're visiting my web site to find out more about how I answered that question in my book, THE GERBIL FARMER'S DAUGHTER, or just happened to stumble here while you were trying to figure out what pet to buy for your children, welcome!  It's a pleasure to share a moment with you.
