Stephanie Roberts
What the years taught the heart, the pen now tells
Welcome. I’m so glad you’re here.
I write about the things life teaches us slowly: love and marriage, family, ageing, resilience, heartbreak, starting again, and the ordinary moments we sometimes don’t recognise as important until years later.
Much of what I write comes from lived experience: nearly sixty years of marriage, raising a family, building businesses, weathering life’s unexpected turns, and discovering that some of its greatest lessons arrive quietly.
Today, my writing ranges from personal stories and memoir to children’s books through my Little Hearts, Big Feelings series. They may seem like very different worlds, but at heart they come from the same place: a belief that stories can help us feel understood, less alone, and sometimes see our own lives a little differently.
I don’t write as someone who has all the answers.
I write as someone who has lived long enough to know that life rarely gives them to us neatly.
And perhaps that is why I still have so many stories left to tell.

Little Hearts, Big Feelings
A gentle children's book series helping children navigate life's big feelings
Children have big feelings long before they have the words to explain them.
Little Hearts, Big Feelings grew from my love of writing for children and my belief that a gentle story can sometimes help a child understand what reassurance alone cannot.
Through Sam, his little Cavoodle Button, and the people who love him, the series explores the everyday emotions of childhood:
• Fear and worry
• Sadness and loss
• Confidence and courage
• Belonging and friendship
• Understanding ourselves and others
What My Readers Say
The conversations that continue after the story ends
It Wasn't Magic
“Stressing over every single detail of the future is so exhausting. Sometimes you just gotta go with the flow and let things play out.”
— Anjali Sharma
The Little Boy Who Wanted to Talk to Sharks
“Sometimes the simplest children’s stories carry the deepest love we struggle to say aloud.”
—Aria Stella
How's the Geriatric Doing?
“We are years apart in age, but the way you wrote this makes me feel like I’m listening to comforting advice about how to look at life from a different perspective.”
— Hannah Sophia
Stories of love, life and the years between. Nearly sixty years together. One marriage. Thousands of ordinary days.
Some stories can only be written after you’ve lived them.
The Long Road of Love is a memoir told in chapters drawn from nearly sixty years of marriage, family life, loss, resilience and the quiet wisdom gathered along the way.
These are stories shaped by lived experience and written in the hope that somewhere within them, another person might recognise a little of their own life.
Many of the lessons explored in this memoir also inspired my relationship course.
Every Story Needs an Echo
Stories don’t really end when the last word is written.
Sometimes they continue in a memory, a conversation, or in the quiet recognition of something we have felt ourselves.
I share new essays and reflections regularly on Medium, exploring love, family, relationships, growing older, and the ordinary moments that quietly become the fabric of a life.
If you’d like to continue the conversation, I’d love to meet you there.
