Autorenporträt
Amy Gorman is the original shy girl. Growing up a quiet redhead laid the ground work for this treasured book. A book she completed the fall of 2014, a year before she passed away from her second battle with breast cancer. Amy developed her writing skills at Lehigh University, and her degree in Journalism led her to New York City where she worked as an editor for a small magazine. Whether it was making her way through campus, or navigating Central Park, Amy forged lasting friendships on her regular runs. Craving some mountain air and more challenging terrain, she headed out west and settled in Colorado, where she earned her graduate degree in Political Science. After finding her favorite running partner, Amy and her husband moved back East, to Ashburn, VA, so they could raise a family closer to her three sisters and parents. Though looking after her two daughters was her biggest passion, she still found time to pursue her love of writing doing freelance work. Along with her beloved daughters, this book is Amy's lasting legacy and final gift to her cherished family and friends.
