About this listen

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.

I finally get Magnolia Pearl!

I fell in love with her whimsical designs and became an avid collector. I now understand every detail, stitch, and hidden treasure of her creative artwork that I call my fashion style. What an incredible gift to understand her story, the other side of love, the alchemy of brokenness, and see a phoenix from the ashes.

Bravo!

Love is the answer for everything

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.

Difficult but necessary

This book was a heartfelt message from a woman to her parents to the world. A message of forgiveness, and how all the crap from our past leads to the culmination of genuine love and understanding of the imperfectness of being human. The words flow easily and are beautifully narrated. Everyone should hear and understand this message, for we are all Glitter Saints deep within.

Love, wisdom and creativity

Astounding! First a fan of Magnolia Pearl but now a devotee. I can’t imagine the lack of safety, security & cruelty Robin lived through. This booked rocked my world. Robin is an incredible example of overcoming & letting her light shine no matter what, to bring her gift to the world. She is an example for me for no excuses. Love is the thread that weaves this story together. Now I’ll wear my MP with a sense of a warrior with endless possibilities and hope. Her desire to deepen her relationship with her mother was admirable as was the devotion to her father. She suffered far more than I but presents to us a beautiful path of healing through her storytelling. Bravo.

“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!
