About the Book
Book: Fierce Wholeness
Author: Robin Meade
Genre: Nonfiction
Release Date: March 5, 2020
When the Bible talks about the third- and fourth-generational curse, that’s so true. If the curse is not broken by you, then who will stop it dead in its tracks? Dealing with forgotten pain, things you stuff down just to survive, is serious business. But that’s what Robin Meade did. Growing up, she was criticized, put down, and stomped on—by her own family. She chose to bury her pain.
Fierce Wholeness: Finding Myself after Childhood Emotional Trauma is Robin’s story—in all of its raw and messy but authentic and beautiful transparency as she unpacks the trajectory of her life from childhood to adulthood and seeks to repair the dam that had been busted, the riverbed that had been washed away, the landscape that had been obliterated by her family of origin.
Readers who grew up in the clutches of the branches of emotional abuse will be empowered by Robin’s story because of the freedom that Jesus gives. Robin’s story is raw and authentic, and readers will be encouraged by how they too can find fierce wholeness in Christ.

Author Interview
Who would you say inspired you the most in your life?
I would say my children. They are all adults now. Each one of them pushed me to be a better person, a better mother, to pursue my faith harder while they were growing and still do now as adults.
Do you have a special writing area?
My desk is my favorite place to write. I feel ‘official’ when I sit at it, all business, all organized, all ‘writer’-like.
Do you read much?
I do love to read but I prefer books I can ‘chew’ on. I will read and study and reread and make notes in my books. I absolutely love audiobooks. I’m a kinetic/audio learner so if I’m exercising or gardening or walking while listening, I soak more in than reading paper.
What is different about writing non-fiction vs fiction? Would you say one is easier than the other?
I think writing is hard when you don’t know what you’re going to write. For me, either is hard when I don’t have a solid outline. With non-fiction, getting the details correct is important. With fiction, making the setting and characters relatable is the challenge.

I love to travel. I think you learn the most when you are in a different setting. My travel companion is a stuffed Moose. I take him wherever I go. Moose has been everywhere from Alaska to Italy. Moose takes great pictures. 😊
About the Author
Robin Meade grew up in Grand Rapids, Michigan, but now she walks with God in the beautiful suburbs of Chicago. For nearly five years she has led and taught as part of the women’s ministry team at New Life Brookfield Church. She loves her dog and great food, but mostly she loves Jesus, and strives to encourage people to experience God’s restorative healing and for God to be glorified through it.
More from Robin
There’s a level of ‘fierce’ that we all need to reach in our journey with Christ; to be real about the journey. When you experience abuse as a child, there is a ‘normal’ way of perceiving your surroundings that’s set, and if not corrected, stays with you into adulthood. My desire for this book is that people who have suffered childhood emotional abuse know they are not alone, that they can experience of healing through a relationship with Jesus Christ. The Bible talks about being ready to give an account and running the race striving for first place and working out our salvation with fear and trembling – some of that has been lost in our Christian culture. Jesus isn’t a wimp or a doormat because he is kind and forgiving and neither should we be. I hope my story will be a blessing to many in their faith walk, to get to their level of ‘fierce’.
