I Know a Girl Memoir (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798999918529)

Let's sit down and talk. Grab a cuppa something: Coffee, Beer, ...Tequila?

The life of Amy Sadd...Her dreams, her nightmares, and everything in between. These short stories are just right for the car pickup line, waiting at the doctor, or even a few minutes alone before work, filled with trauma, adventure, and healing. From skydiving to a near drowning, from the loss of a child to finding new hope and a completely new life, Amy takes you on the ups and downs of her life story, as seen by only she can.

Some books tell you how to be strong. I Know a Girl shows you. Amy left America with a suitcase, too many scars to count, and the stubborn hope that she would want to live again. Her abused and lonely existence is poured out as raw and real as if sharing over a coffee in Mississippi or a beer in Mexico. Amy's truths are unfiltered, and her journey doesn't just define her life: She rose up forged in the kind of resilience that only comes from being knocked down too many times. Amy lays her life bare-not just for herself, but for every woman who's ever fought to endure. The cracks in her broken road may just help you discover your own way 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.
