About This Book

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.

ROBIN BROWN
Robin Brown is a tightrope artist, fire-juggler, certified clown, and ringleader. She’s magic, but she’d be the last to say so. She’d rather see the magic in you and not rest until you see it, too.
She’s got forty-four bobby pins in her hair, ribbons tied to her wrists, and a tick-tock locket in her chest that’s right on time. At home barefoot in the sun, listening to someone—really listening—and telling them what they’re feeling is okay. To love anyway.
She lives the spirit of the first law of thermodynamics, which states that matter is neither created nor destroyed but transformed. She’s a telescopic kaleidoscope, seeing through gravity to point out colorful shards of light. She’s a human, a creature. In awe.
Forever bewildered.
