About the Authors

Robin Benoit
A graduate of Oklahoma State University with a degree in journalism/public relations, Robin began her career in the nonprofit field before moving on to an advertising agency. She worked for two cellular phone companies, one of which was her "all-time favorite job," leaving only to get married and follow her husband, an Air Force B-52 pilot, across the country.

When Jillian was diagnosed with amblyopia, Robin put her career on hold to become a home school teacher to her daughters. She describes these three challenging years as tremendously rewarding.

Thanks to the overwhelming response to "Jillian's Story", she teamed up with Jillian to write a second book about vision therapy.  They are honored to share the inspiring stories of others who found their lives changed as well.  She resides in Colorado with her husband, daughters, and their dog, Boomer.  Please contact her at robin@jilliansstory.com.

Jillian Benoit
Jillian is now 14 years old and a freshman in high-school. She is involved in high school band and various school clubs. The positive impact that vision therapy has had on Jillian's quality of life is almost indescribable. Without it, she would never have been able to live the life she now leads. Jillian very much wants to help other children who are living with vision challenges. Please contact her directly at jillian@jilliansstory.com if you know a child with vision challenges who could use a supportive pen pal.
