Become inspired by Amy's story of reinvention in her new book: Chance to Change: A Midlife Resurrection. A delightful fusion of imaginative wisdom and insights around the journey into life's second half.

Chance to Change, her first foray into creative nonfiction, expands upon themes found in her popular Stalk Your Talk and Dollishop transformational experiences.
Amy’s passion for artistic innovation began early under the influence of both her creative parents. At age twelve, she learned from her artist father how to hand set type on the family’s antique letterpress, and her zeal for creating graphics and publications took flight.
