If someone you love is grieving, don’t just say "let me know if you need anything".

this book is something.

On the shores of grief is about walking through tragedy with honesty and hope that goes beyond an inspirational quote.

If you’re caring for someone you love, grieving a loss, or questioning where God is in the middle of it all— you’re not alone.

What if the places that break you are also where God begins to show you something sacred?

After walking beside her husband through a cancer diagnosis at 26, and ultimately his death at 29, Amanda turned to writing to navigate the depths of grief.

Her memoir, On the Shores of Grief, shares the raw, redemptive journey of love, loss, and healing— and now returns with updated content.
