Overview

Let's sit down and talk. Grab a cuppa something: Coffee, Beer, ...Tequila? The life of Amy Sadd...Her dreams, her nightmares, and everything in between. These short stories are just right for the car pickup line, waiting at the doctor, or even a few minutes alone before work, filled with trauma, adventure, and healing. From skydiving to a near drowning, from the loss of a child to finding new hope and a completely new life, Amy takes you on the ups and downs of her life story, as seen by only she can. Some books tell you how to be strong. I Know a Girl shows you. Amy left America with a suitcase, too many scars to count, and the stubborn hope that she would want to live again. Her abused and lonely existence is poured out as raw and real as if sharing over a coffee in Mississippi or a beer in Mexico. Amy's truths are unfiltered, and her journey doesn't just define her life: She rose up forged in the kind of resilience that only comes from being knocked down too many times. Amy lays her life bare-not just for herself, but for every woman who's ever fought to endure. The cracks in her broken road may just help you discover your own way home. In I Know a Girl, Amy writes of her abuse, trauma, and devastating losses including infant loss and surviving suicide attempts with unflinching honesty. But this isn't just a story of her suffering. It is about surprising places where healing shows up; watching monarch butterflies migrate at the top of a mountain in Mexico, she saw her own fragile persistence take flight. Standing before whales surfacing from the deep, she understood resilience in a new way. And when cliff divers hurled themselves into uncertain waters, she recognized the courage it takes to keep leaping back into life. With authentic truth and unexpected beauty, Amy shares how trauma, grief, and survival shaped her, and how family, both found and rediscovered, gave her a place to belong. This memoir isn't neat redemption; it's the messy, luminous path of staying alive and finding meaning where no one expected it to appear.

My bedtime is 9 pm: Here it is 10:30 and I keep telling myself just one more story! R.B I thought I knew Amy. Comes to find out; after reading her book, I never knew one person could keep going and help so many others after so much loss. L.H I Know a Girl hit me the same way as the book WILD, but without the hiking. Which is great because I do not hike. Really great read in small chapters to take with you. J.C.

""I Know a Girl"" by Amy Sadd is a memoir that is as brave as it is beautifully written. Amy opens up her life to the reader with honesty, vulnerability, and strength and it's impossible not to feel every word. This book is a reminder that our stories, even the painful ones, matter. Amy's voice is raw and authentic, and her willingness to share her journey makes this memoir not only impactful, but also deeply inspiring. Reading this felt like being invited into someone's heart and handed a piece of their truth. It's the kind of memoir that stays with you long after you finish, urging you to reflect on your own story, resilience, and healing. Vulnerable, powerful, and beautifully human. This book is a reminder that our stories matter. C.E I Know a Girl by Amy Sadd broke me open and gently put the pieces back together. This memoir is raw, unfiltered, and deeply personal. I cried so much reading it because it felt like she was telling parts of my own story. Amy doesn't just survive-she fights, feels, and keeps moving forward with a quiet strength that's unforgettable. Her words are beautifully vulnerable, and her journey through trauma, loss, and healing is told with unflinching honesty and grace. I just wanted to reach into the pages and hug her. Her story isn't easy to read. Every chapter feels like a quiet conversation over coffee with someone who's lived through hell and still found her way back to hope. This isn't just a story of healing-it's messy, real, and incredibly moving. Her reflections on trauma, grief, and survival are powerful reminders that healing is possible and that your story matters too. I highly recommend I Know a Girl to anyone navigating deep trauma, loss, or just needing a reminder that hope is still possible. -J.
