About the Author

Robert Echols

Robert Echols is a spiritual author, thought leader, and passionate
advocate for animals and all of God’s creation. As the author of For Our Friends the Animals: Cultivating a Reverence for Life, Echols blends Christian spirituality, biblical wisdom, and the moral
philosophy of Dr. Albert Schweitzer to offer a powerful message: we are
called to protect and uplift all living beings.

A cancer survivor and U.S. Army veteran, Robert’s life journey has been
guided by service—to his country, his faith, and now, to the voiceless
creatures that share our planet. He is the founder and former president of
the For Our Friends the Animals Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to
financially supporting animal shelters, rescues, and sanctuaries. Under his
leadership, the foundation funded the construction of animal shelters in
Florida, putting faith into action and making his life his argument, as
Schweitzer once wrote.

Robert frequently shares his message of compassion on LinkedIn, in
podcasts, and as a guest speaker throughout the Mobile Bay, Alabama area.
With academic credentials from Phillips Exeter Academy, New York University,
and Emory University (J.D./M.B.A.), and a past career as an ethics officer
and Army JAG attorney, Robert’s voice is both seasoned and deeply
principled.

His current writing project is a four-volume spiritual treatise titled For Our Friends the Animals, empowering others to embrace a universal love rooted in Christ’s
teachings and a reverence for all life.

“Let my words inspire you to become a steward of the earth and a
champion for animals—because the love of Jesus is not just for
humanity, but for all creation.”

“My long-term survival is doubtful under any scenario. Yet, I already
defied the impossible by escaping from a watery tomb and swimming to this very
spot. But luck is finite—it always peters out.”

As the island of Kefalonia falls under the harsh occupation of Italian
soldiers in 1941, British sailor Oliver Graham washes ashore, desperate to
evade capture. Rescued by the fierce and determined Natalía Giannatos,
he becomes entangled in a web of love, loyalty, and betrayal.

With her brother and fiancé lost to the conflict, Natalía is
driven by vengeance against the occupiers and a deepening bond with Oliver.
But when an Italian colonel fixates on her, she must navigate a dangerous game
of deception to protect her family and village. As Oliver struggles with his
hidden heritage and his growing feelings for Natalía, they are thrust
into the heart of the resistance, where every choice could lead to freedom or
devastation.

In a story that intertwines love and sacrifice against the backdrop of war,
The Weight of Loyalty explores the resilience of the human spirit and the
lengths one will go to for love. Will Oliver and Natalía’s
connection survive the trials of conflict, or will the brutal realities of war
tear them apart forever?
