PURSUIT OF NORMALCY
Author Amy Martin shares a life story filled with health challenges
Amy Martin is a writer, business owner, wife, and mother who brings her amazing life story to her first book
Living to Tell About It, A Pursuit
of Normalcy. She experienced multiple health problems all while still a young woman. Through the amazing support of her family and her positive attitude, Amy met each challenge and won. Along with her husband, Amy now owns Visiting Angels. This service provides in-home assistance in a wide range of areas to the sick and elderly. After her own struggles, Amy now uses her skills and experience to help others in need.
In
Living to Tell About It, Amy Martin provides a chronological history of her life to this point. Each chapter brings another hospital visit, upsetting diagnosis, or painful effort at rehabilitation. However, instead of focusing
on the medical details or allowing herself an understandable moment of
pity, Amy focuses on the relationships in her life that mattered so much in her pursuit of normalcy. Her story of courage and faith will inspire anyone who is facing some of life’s hurdles. Amy Martin is an example of the hope
and happiness that can be achieved after overcoming incredible odds.
STORY ANGLES
Overcoming Multiple Health Crises: Amy faced a stroke, cancer, Graves disease, multiple surgeries and a severe car accident that required extensive physical rehabilitation all before reaching the age of forty. Her normalcy was shattered at age nineteen, when most teenagers are enjoying their first tastes of freedom. Her determination to conquer each challenge will
inspire anyone facing a difficult moment in their own lives.
Family and Faith: Each of Amy’s life-changing health issues would provide enough content for a book. However, she keeps her focus on her parents,
husband and other loved ones. The emotional language she uses to describe her family demonstrates bonds that will be understood by all readers. The acknowledgement of the role of faith in her healing process is
an important component of this book in which others can take strength.
Giving Back to Others:
Amy recognizes that the support provided to her by family and friends during each health crisis was essential to her recovery. She has devoted her professional life to directing Visiting Angels, a licensed home-care service that provides assistance to those in need. Amy has earned industry awards and the satisfaction of many clients.
