THE KIND OF LOVE THAT SAVES YOU      

 

Amy’s debut novel tells the story of Sarah Strickland, a woman writing letters to her unborn child. Her journal traces her difficult journey toward a hopeful future after her perfect marriage crumbles in a devastating loss...

 

 

This debut novel could be insipid or sappy; it is neither. Sarah's messages to her unborn daughter are endearing and often hilarious, a fictionalized account of intense grief that may be as helpful as any study of the topic.

“The authenticity [of this story] is unmistakable; a tender and touching novel.” – The Seattle Times, 2002
