The books
One memoir that started at 3am on my phone's notes app. One more on the way. Both written for the woman who needs to know she isn't alone, and she isn't finished.
The Bestselling Memoir
What if grief wasn't the end of your story?
It isn't — and Amanda will show you the way in her bestselling memoir Love, Grit & Grace: a true story about growing through life's messy grief.
A story of losing everything and finding the way back. Not a recovery guide, not five steps to closure — an honest account of the year the plan fell apart and the years spent learning to live anyway.
Available in hardcover, ebook and audiobook, read by Amanda.
