She also speaks about being guided by love, embracing a “why not?” mindset, and being open-minded. Amy also reflects on the cathartic experience of writing her memoir, in which she gets to witness three days of her childhood as a grown-up bystander, the surprising pliability of memory, the practice of re-parenting ourselves, and the wisdom that comes from learning through other people’s lives.
