Overview

Amelia Fisher spied the weatherworn wooden bench as she passed a church courtyard near her college campus. Months later, when life grew harder and her faith felt distant, she returned, soaked in the quiet, and shared everything she was feeling with God for the first time in a while. Amelia began writing about the moments when she stumbled upon or sought God's presence through her coming-of-age years. Her relatable, honest and humorous stories come together in 26 essays. Her perspective will resonate with those seeking a closer relationship with God and those grounded in their faith alike. Ever-Present speaks in scripture as well as phrases more likely found in the Urban Dictionary or heard in a heart-to-heart over coffee. Amelia is a middle child, avid sailor, leadfoot driver, frequent bench warmer and heart-on-her-sleeve friend. Her stories of uncertainty and successes take place across North Carolina as well as in a little village in Spain and on the wide open Caribbean Sea.

Author Information

Amelia Fisher completed her first book while a senior at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where she double-majored in Media & Journalism and Psychology. Relatable, honest, and funny, she writes with humility and wisdom beyond her years-offering reflections on navigating life with God's help that feel like conversations over coffee. A native of Charlotte, Amelia's love for adventure has carried her from racing sailboats with UNC on Jordan Lake to serving as a first mate in the Caribbean while teaching teens and sailing over 1,000 nautical miles. The middle child between two brothers, she's competitive, curious, and grounded in faith. Outside of writing, Amelia finds joy in slow mornings with coffee, unhurried moments outdoors, painting with watercolors, playing guitar, and reading books by her favorite author, Bob Goff. Her debut book, Ever-Present, is a vulnerable and humorous collection of stories about finding God's presence in both ordinary and extraordinary moments.
