Rerouted: Discovering Who I Am When Everything Changes
Strength is supposed to be visible.A flexed muscle. A finish line. A trophy on a shelf. We’re taught to recognize strength by what we can see — and so when it disappears from view, we assume it’s gone.
Ask anyone living with chronic, invisible pain what the hardest part is, and most won’t say the pain itself. They’ll say being disbelieved. Being told it’s “all in your head.”
Not everything goes as planned, especially when you’ve been hit by a car.Robin Dean Robb was an athlete, a straight-A student, and a pastor’s daughter with her whole life planned out — until a hit-and-run driver swept her off her feet on the way to school. What followed wasn’t a quick recovery.
It was years of unanswered questions, feelings of paralysis, ineffective treatments, and a rolling backpack that simultaneously became a symbol of everything she’d lost and a hope of a life yet to come.
Written in a lovable style – the type that makes you feel included in a private joke – Rerouted is the true story of what happens when faith outlasts diagnosis. Robin takes readers from the moment of impact through years of chronic pain, a hard-won fibromyalgia diagnosis, and the unlikely friendship with a gym trainer who refused to let her stay broken.
This is not a story about being healed. It’s a story about being held by family, friends, and a God who never let go, even when she did.
Buckle Up!Beware, miracles appear in this book. Prepare to be reminded that strength isn’t always something you can see, but it’s always something you can achieve.
Not somehow, but triumphantly.

The author was my daughter’s middle school ELA teacher last year. This book was simultaneously heartbreaking and heartwarming. I found so many parts of this book to be relatable in so many ways and such an important reminder of how life is not always easy but we can get through it with God on our side. Loved every second of the book and have so much respect for her resilience, determination and faith.

A genuine and authentic story that captures Robin’s experience in life, in finding herself, in living with chronic pain and her faith through it all. Touching and endearing, well worth the read

An amazing story of trusting God when life doesn’t go how you planned and finding laughter and hope in the middle of pain. Great book for teens and adults.
