Dear Amy, You are amazing! A rock! I’ve carried your book around everywhere like it’s my new bible. Since my diagnosis as of a month ago my breast cancer bout #4 which is already in my lungs has now metastasized into my bones. This journey in the last five years has been intense. The terror and trauma is scarily palpable. Your book has so helped me stay grounded and anchored in hope these last weeks in the face of new fears on this journey. I hung onto every word you said in your book and story and I will take much of the medical tips alongside to use as clout bait for my lovely lady oncologist to heed! I am so inspired by your strength, resilience, wisdom and courage. It feeds my soul and the only thing that saved me these last weeks has been stumbling upon your book at the library which literally jumped off the shelf at me like it was wanting to come home to me, with me, in my own barbed journey to give me some new peace, hope, persistence, joy and belief in the powers that be - that say never say never - the story has too much juicy plot to let go. It is always time to move forward bravely as we are not the same souls from the last trek we dealt with. There is still so much glorious spiritual work to be done. We need the happy resolutions, some answers to the dogged frigging met questions that will give us more time, more grace and to walk further into the secret garden of this life that has so many more beautiful gifts to share. I love you like a sister, and I thank you for your gorgeous words and insights. I wish you so much more strength and hope that more solutions and miracles come your way as you have defied so many odds. I will pray for more answers, more relief, more insights and more joy in the daily pockets that present themselves as we plod along overcoming with grace, dignity and a fiercer form of warrior spirit that spells a new mantra that superpowers are in motion! I wait with bated breath to hear of your new victories to carry me through to a new higher plane of thinking and believing. Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou for the book, your words and your indomitable spirit that carries a bright torch for all of us!❤️ Marianne Gruber
I have now read your post several times, and just now shared it with my youngest daughter, Claire. You have touched me and my family continually throughout this journey; conversations had which were previously postponed, words spoken that sometimes are not, and feelings shared that can easily be taken for granted. Thank you for living in the light that inspires each of us here to take a breath and speak our love.
You are a champion, and I will forever be grateful for your sharing of your climb. Reminds me to take in the views along while being out of breath.
May God bless and keep you close. Forever grateful to you, Catherine Woolcott
Amy, I am in all at your bravery and faith. Now is the time to cash it in. We know the Lord loves us though we don’t deserve it but we can claim it. May this journey at the hospital be one more miracle. You are in my heart. You are in my prayers And even my tears. I love you, Amy and Pat.mm
Very tough to write about but like your doctor delivering bad news, beautifully done. I also loved the scene from Lord of the Rings. Be well and full of hope, lc
This one was a hard one to read, but as always, your faith shines through and lights the path forward for all of us. I will keep you close to my heart and send all the healing energy I can muster. The image of you and your son snuggled on the couch is priceless. Love is a very powerful drug.
Ugh. The story does turn. Thank you for taking us alongside you in this journey. You are a wonder and inspiration. We hold to faith and hope that there are still many more chapters in this story. We remain steadfast readers, prayer warriors and companions on this trek.

Glad you have your son with you. I always appreciated family being around during setbacks. It’s good that they have success with radiation.
Spring Break visits from our college kids are the best! Glad Connor was there to cozy up on the couch with you.
As always, I am so moved by your writing and your faith. You and your family are in my prayers.
