Etched in Stone is the first part of the compilation book Shards of My Soul. The book is the 7th in the Fountains Series and is a continuation of the Rob's journey with metaphor, life, and wisdom. The book contains prose with elements fusing intent, ability, and commitment and Robert writes about Providing Point, a non-profit organization he started. The lessons and ideas he encounters and the evolution of his written work are a steadfast commitment to improving both his own and other's situations through an obsessive refusal to quit. 100% of the royalties from Etched in Stone are used to provide for some of Rob's friends when they are in want and need.
