The Hiding Place Girl
When she was a child, Renae and a boy named Patrick were friends. They shared secret adventures. They shared secret hiding places. But they never told each other about the secret worlds hidden inside their houses. Their sharing stopped one fall afternoon when Patrick walked home from school and found something terrible waiting for him there. After that day, his secret was out.
Years later, Renae’s father dies suddenly. Staring at his casket in the funeral home, she tumbles back in memories to untangle the connections between herself as a young girl and the woman she has become. Her memories begin with Patrick, and in them she finds that the fearful choices she made when they were childhood friends are the choices she’s been making ever since. Because the hidden world inside the house she grew up in has been following her around.
Set in the American South, The Hiding Place Girl is a haunting look at a time past, and a painfully truthful telling of a girl's secret adolescence and young adulthood.

About the Author

Robin Martin is a pen name for Robin Billings. Martin is a family name; it's the middle name of one of her great-grandfathers. He was the son of immigrant Irish parents, born in a small prairie town in Illinois that no longer exists.

The Hiding Place Girl is Robin's first novel. She wrote it over the course of several years while working in Washington, DC. (If you happen to be from that general area and you noticed a woman in a black car pulled over on the George Washington Parkway or in Old Town Alexandria, scribbling furiously on a well-worn note pad, that was probably Robin, writing lines and scenes as they came to her while driving back and forth over the Potomac River bridges to work each week.)

Two follow-on novels are planned for The Hiding Place Girl, and Robin is writing another series of novels under her own name. The first of these will be published in the summer of 2013.

Robin was born in Kentucky. She's also lived in Louisiana, Kansas, Virginia, and in England. Among other things, she's been a convenience store checkout clerk, bank teller, scuba diver, office manager for a mightily dysfunctional construction company, graduate student in clinical psychology, and a director of corporate relations. She's now dividing her time between the U.S. and England, where she's enjoying the Thames and the pubs while her husband John is doing some work in London.
