For Amy Meredith, advocacy work is deeply personal. In her moving and inspiring memoir, Amy shares how she survived a free-range 1980s childhood, cared for her mother through ovarian cancer as a teenager, learned entrepreneurship from her grandfather and became the first in her family to graduate from college.

For Amy Meredith, advocacy work is deeply personal. In her moving and inspiring memoir, Amy shares how she survived a free-range 1980s childhood, cared for her mother through ovarian cancer as a teenager, learned entrepreneurship from her grandfather and became the first in her family to graduate from college. After losing both parents at a young age, she took on the role of guardian to her younger siblings, a life-shaping responsibility that deepened her empathy and resilience. That same tenacity carried her through a successful career in business and into her next calling: creating a safe, dignified, and welcoming day shelter for women and children experiencing homelessness. In this candid account, Amy opens up about what it took to build a nonprofit from the ground up-navigating funding challenges, keeping services open during the COVID-19 pandemic, and staying grounded through the ever-evolving needs of the women she serves. Along the way, she became a passionate advocate for epilepsy and neurodiversity, drawing on her own life experiences to push for more inclusive and equitable support systems. Deeply impacted by the stories of the women who walk through the doors of the shelter each day, Amy makes the case that storytelling is one of our most powerful tools for connection and change. With wisdom and heart, she invites readers into her journey-and lays the foundation for a broader conversation about how telling our truths can help build the community, compassion, and resources the world desperately needs.
