The Book: On the Other Side of the Street

---

On the Other Side of the Street is the personal narrative that grounds the R4 Style framework.

Written by Rob Quinn, MS, the book explores what it means to begin again when illness, loss, recovery, and identity shifts reshape the course of a life. It is not a how-to guide, and it does not promise quick answers or tidy resolution.

Instead, it offers a lived account of pausing, reckoning, and choosing forward movement with intention—one honest step at a time.

Through storytelling and reflection, the book examines:

• The moment when life comes to an unexpected stop

• The long middle of recovery and  uncertainty

• The choice to step forward into a newly defined life

It is about learning how to live as who you are now.
