About the Author

Born in 1946 in San Antonio, into a military family of young Southern Texas parents. Tobin had learned from an incredibly young age to be responsible, resourceful, and creative with all the challenges sent to her.
She moved twenty times before graduating from high school, attended five grammar schools and three high schools. Never stayed anywhere long enough to keep her potential friends or even to make them.
Her working years were just about the same as her school years, various and unstable. Became an airline stewardess with Eastern Air Lines in 1966 at 20 years of age. At 21 moved up to the position of In-flight Supervisor and at 24 joined Exxon an American international oil and gas corporation, as an administrative supervisor providing secretarial support to 500 technical engineers.
She first married at the age of 23 ½ to a man ten years her senior and stayed in that relationship for a long, long 24 years.
She became an artist at the age of 33, painting inspiring watercolors from various places she lived or traveled to. She had multiple successful shows in NJ, Utah, Vermont, and now Florida.
Her life was stressful with huge disappointments, but she never lost hope. She was grateful to be alive and lowered her expectations to zero.
Life decided to send her a few more challenges to go through and learn from. From quite a young age, Susan started having health issues such as intestinal blockage, ovarian cysts, bladder infections, and more. She has been living with a neobladder since October 2009, and all this due to severe interstitial cystitis brought on by poor medical care.
Through her remarkable perseverance and resilience, she was able to thrive and begin again. She has been married to her husband Bob, an amazing man, for 21 years. Between the two of them, they have five children (4 are Bob’s) and nine grandchildren (3 are Susan’s and 6 are Bob’s), and a very cute, loving dog named Allie.
Life is wonderful and she enjoys every minute of living in beautiful Sarasota and is filled with gratitude.

Editorial Reviews

This book was very inspiring! To be able to share this was quite courageous of Ms. Tobin, but how wonderful that she did--any young woman who reads this and finds herself in difficult circumstances should gain great encouragement to persevere despite the obstacles in her life
