I MISS YOUR PURPLE HAIR is a survival adventure centered upon 15-year-old Veronica "Violet" Lima and her father, Mateo. When an apocalyptic series of earthquakes and tsunamis ravages the Earth, they find themselves trapped in the ruins of the San Diego Zoo.
The quakes have ended many lives, freed the wild zoo animals, unleashed toxic gases, and created an organic prison from which escape appears impossible. Tensions escalate as temperatures soar and limited resources are depleted. Violet struggles to recover from injuries suffered during the quake and begins to piece together vital clues, thanks to the blessing of her burgeoning psychic gifts. Mateo perseveres despite the harsh conditions and his own near-death experience, compelled to protect his daughter from additional harm.
The band of exhausted survivors press on in search of any possible escape route... until one among them risks everything in a quest for salvation.

This book was riveting right from the start! It kept me up late unable to put it down. The characters come to life and are fascinating right from the beginning, and in the end I was left wanting more. Can we say sequel?!
The story is unique and fascinating, filled with incredible action, drama, and suspense that is believable and compelling. At times I laughed at sarcastic, witty dialogue, other times I cried at the suspense and pain. The emotions of each character come to life through superb diction and authorship.
Robert Chandler has done it again and I look forward to reading more of his!
The cast of characters in this book drew me in and kept me from reading the last 20 pages for a long time...I didn't want their story to end. The author truly brought the characters to life and allowed me the opportunity to get to know them and understand their points of view for the circumstance they found themselves in. I am hoping that a sequel is planned because I want them to be a part of my life again.
The plot and story line were compelling. The way that the author unfolded the events (and the history behind some of the characters' perspectives) was realistic and gripping. I couldn't put it down (until, as I said above, the last 20 pages, when I didn't want it to end).
Great read - highly recommended!
When a series of catastrophic events hit the world, a group of survivors are trapped in the San Diego zoo. At the center of the group are Mateo Lima and his 15 year old daughter Veronica, whom he calls“Violet”.
Inspired by the authors real-life visions , I Miss Your Purple Hair is a story of a father’s love for his daughter and a young girl finding her destiny.
I found this novel to be quite intriguing. It has a large cast of characters all brought together, each with their own “special” story. The author drew me in and kept me captivated.
I always enjoy a novel that makes me think and this one definitely did that. The events that take place remind me of the 2012 Mayan... More >

I Miss Your Purple Hair is a good book and I enjoyed it thoroughly. I’ve read 100 page books that felt like they’d never end, but this was a 300+ page book that was over before I knew it. I became invested in the characters and was genuinely curious how they would overcome their dilemma.
As dilemmas go, this is a big one. As our heroes and heroines visit the zoo one day, the world ends. Earthquakes and Tsunamis wipe out most of the coastal regions of the earth and 3/4s of the earth’s population is wiped out. Instead of taking a holistic view of the carnage and destruction, Chandler gives us a snapshot of 14 individuals caught in an undamaged valley surrounded by newly formed... More >

I Miss Your Purple Hair is one of the most thrilling books I’ve ever read. The first half of the book drew me in so well, I felt I could reach out and touch all of the characters. The second half had me quite literally on the edge of my seat! The storyline contains a great balance of sincere, heartfelt moments and sheer excitement. The interactions between Mateo and his teenage daughter, Violet, dig much deeper than your average "daddy’s little girl" tale. The two share a believable, yet magical bond that ties the entire story together. Also, the relationships that gradually develop between the would-have-been strangers thrown together by fate shed a warm light on humanity's potential, and illustrate things we could do together in order to live a richer existence. I Miss Your Purple Hair was a pleasure to read... and I’m hoping for a sequel!
