I KNOW A GIRL ^Featured

“Amy didn’t run. She escaped. I Know a Girl pulls you into a life marked by scars, survival, and the stubborn hope to live again. Raw as a border-town beer and honest as a Mississippi morning, her journey shows every woman that broken roads can still lead home.” In I Know a Girl, Amy writes of her abuse, trauma, and devastating losses including infant loss and surviving suicide attempts with unflinching honesty. But this isn’t just a story of her suffering. It is about surprising places where healing shows up; watching monarch butterflies migrate at the top of a mountain in Mexico, she saw her own fragile persistence take flight. Standing before whales surfacing from the deep, she understood resilience in a new way. And when cliff divers hurled themselves into uncertain waters, she recognized the courage it takes to keep leaping back into life. With authentic truth and unexpected beauty, Amy shares how trauma, grief, and survival shaped her, and how family, both found and rediscovered, gave her a place to belong. This memoir isn’t neat redemption; it’s the messy, luminous path of staying alive and finding meaning where no one expected it to appear.
