title: A Love Story and a Riddle: The life and letters of Helen Hunter Dixon Evans
author: Robin Lawton
description: Robin Lawtons life story is a reflection of her connections with America, her mothers homeland, and South Africa, her fathers homeland. Robin spent her first thirty-five years in South Africa where she completed her studies in English literature and taught at what is now known as the University of Westville before emigrating to the United States with her husband and two sons in 1973. In 1979, Robin joined the faculty at Linfield College, a small liberal arts college in Oregon, where she taught for twenty-five years. She now devotes herself to her writing.

  A _USA TODAY_ and _Wall Street Journal_ bestseller, **ROBIN COVINGTON** loves
  to explore the theme of fooling around and falling in love in her books. A
  Native American author of colour, Robin proudly writes diverse romance where
  everyone gets their happily-ever-after. She is an unapologetic comic book geek
  and hoards red nail polish and stalks Chris Evans. She is thoroughly obsessed
  with her Corgi, Dixie Joan Wilder (yes— _the_ Joan Wilder).
