Robert's script for WHAT LOVE SEES is based on the book by Susan Vreeland and interviews with the real life Holly family, who are depicted in the film. A ratings winner, WHAT LOVE SEES, produced by David Rosemont, and directed by Michael Switzer, opened the 1996 CBS television season and went on to win a Silver Plaque at the Chicago International Television Festival.

Set in the 1940's and 1950's, WHAT LOVE SEES tells the story of Jean Treadway (Annabeth Gish) and Gordon Holly (Richard Thomas), a blind couple with little else in common who meet and fall in love and raise a family of sighted children, living a hard-scrabble life on a ranch in Ramona, California. Edward Herrmann co-stars as Jean's formidable father.

The highlight of the project for Robert was getting to know Jean and the entire remarkable Holly family and receiving their appreciative reaction to the finished film. Robert has written a sequel, WHAT LOVE SEES II: SECRETS OF THE HEART, for CBS and Rosemont Productions.
