My Story

A family of six with three children, two women, and one man, standing on a beach with the ocean and sky in the background, smiling and enjoying a sunny day.
A woman with long brown hair and a sleeveless brown top is leaning over a young girl with light skin and short brown hair, who is wearing a white dress, sitting outdoors near water on a sunny day. The girl is looking closely at a small snake on her arm.

Amy is a wife, mother of four young girls and follower of Jesus who began writing after being diagnosed with cancer in 2024—just months after welcoming her fourth child.

Walking through treatment while still driving the carpool and waking with the baby at night became a refining ground for both her faith and her voice.

As a physician assistant, she spent years caring for patients—then suddenly became one in a humbling reversal.

Her heart is especially drawn to mothers navigating cancer while still showing up for the ordinary work of motherhood.

She writes honestly about suffering, faith, fear, and the hope she has found in Christ while walking through the storm herself.
