9Robert (Bob) Ivy was orphaned as a child of nine and told himself he would never cry again-but God had other plans. Bob's heart was softened through career changes, tough financial times, the loss of two wives, and two bouts with cancer. Yet, his relationship with God sustained him through these difficult times and uplifted and humbled him through the good ones. I'm Never Gonna Cry Again, a non-fiction memoir that follows the life of Robert Ivy, includes narrative written by Barbara Ivy, Bob's daughter-in-law, as well as journal entries written by Robert himself. It is their hope that through their collaboration, readers are encouraged to understand God's love for them, His children, and trust His leadership in their lives. Robert (Bob) Ivy Jr. is a retired businessman who lives in the small community of Jacks Creek, Tennessee. He enjoys a quiet country life, feeding deer and hummingbirds and watching bluebirds raise families in the houses he provides. He is very conscious of and grateful for God's blessings and presence in his life and looks forward to sharing his experiences within the pages of this book. Barbara Ivy has been married to Bob's youngest son, Barry, since 2005. They currently live in Coastal Georgia. She is an avid reader and nature enthusiast. She was encouraged and supported by her husband to help Bob write about his experiences.
