R. B. Mitchell is an extraordinarily successful husband, father, and businessman who overcame an extraordinarily painful past. “Castaway Kid” is Rob’s story.

No one gets to choose the family or culture into which they are born. But, as our lead character eventually discovers, we can choose how to respond to the most challenging circumstances.

“Castaway Kid “is the true story of Robby, a 3 year-old child who was abandoned by a suicidal father and alcoholic mother and turned over to the “system” where he spent the next 14 agonizingly lonely years.

During his journey through teen years into adulthood, Rob was impacted by several key people who helped him balance the difficulties in life with faith and unconditional love. Because of a loving grandma, a caring dorm mother and a beautiful blonde young girl he met along the way, Rob began to learn how to trust in others beyond himself; especially a heavenly Father who would never leave or forsake him.

“Castaway Kid” will take you through the struggles of an innocent young orphan who grows, rebelliously at first, into a fine young man with a heart full of forgiveness fired by a passion to reach out and serve other castaway kids much like him.

The Dove Foundation is delighted to award “Castaway Kid” the Dove Family Approved Seal and recommend it to audiences ages 12 and above.
