Hello, I'm Amy.

I spend my days fighting for women and children who've been told their lives don't belong to them. I know that fight from the inside.

At eleven, I was sexually exploited because someone decided my life was theirs to use. For years I held what happened the way you hold something in a closed fist, because opening it felt more dangerous than the pain itself. I got good at surviving. I got good at building distance, staying busy, carrying everything alone.

What changed wasn't a moment. It was a relationship. God walked into the middle of what I was holding and didn't ask me to explain it. He just stayed. And He brought people with Him, which is the part I never expected. Healing, it turns out, isn't something you do by yourself. It happens slowly, in community, over years instead of days. Twenty years later, I'm still laying things down. It doesn't end. It just gets lighter.

I haven't arrived. But God has never waited for me to finish before He started using me. Both things are true at once, and I've stopped needing them not to be.

For a long season, He pulled me back from building so He could rebuild me. Now He's calling me up and out again, starting with my first book. It's the most honest thing I've ever done: the story of what God has been doing in my life, told so others might believe He's doing something in theirs too. Nothing in my life has taken hold of me like Christ, and I can't help but share Him. He is the point of all of it.

If you're here, I believe there's a reason. The girl who once held everything in a closed fist now loves people with open hands, and that alone is a miracle. God, the lover of my soul, loved me back to life, and that same love is reaching for you now.

So this is my invitation to you: lay down what's been holding you, and lay hold of the One who has been holding on to you all along. The wound, the offense, the shame, the unbelief, the isolation — none of it is too heavy for Him. Your story isn't over. It's being rebuilt.

You don't have to do this alone. On [Instagram], I share what's helped me along the way. Starting in January 2027, I'll go deeper in a weekly Substack and a monthly newsletter. And if your heart beats for women and children walking the long road of restoration, come join us at [Girl Set Free].

I'm so glad you're here!
