A family’s story of care, faith, and loss

Set against the 1950s, Angel Unaware recounts Roy and Dale Evans Rogers’s decision to raise their daughter Robin, who had Down syndrome, at home. The account describes the family’s strain through surgeries and sleepless nights, and the ways Robin’s life brought the couple closer to one another and to God. Told from Robin’s point of view in heaven, the book connects a family memoir with reflections on disability, bereavement, and helping others facing similar circumstances. Its perspective gives the story a distinctly religious frame, while its subject is the Rogers family’s experience of loving and losing a child.

Book overview

The story that changed the lives of millions offers help and hope to those who have suffered the loss of a loved one.

In the 1950s, doctors often advised parents of disabled babies to put them away in institutions or homes. But when entertainers Roy Rogers and Dale Evans Rogers discovered their new baby, Robin, had Down Syndrome, they were determined to take her home and give her their love.

It wasn't easy. Through countless surgeries and sleepless nights, the Rogers found themselves exhausted and worried--until they began to notice a change in their lives. Somehow the unexplainable and unexpected was happening--Robin was helping Roy and Dale draw closer to God and to each other. Robin's brief life also persuaded them to do all they could to help others in similar circumstances.

Told from Robin's point of view in heaven, Angel Unaware is a touching story that has inspired millions of readers around the world. Whether you are a parent of a special needs child or have experienced the loss of a loved one, Robin's story will bring you the peace and understanding you need in difficult times.
