Critically acclaimed by the U.S. Review as “alternately uplifting and emotionally searing”, Raising Amy is an abridged yet astounding three part memoir about survival, revival, and the remarkably transcendental intertwining of a mother and her grieving daughter. An Indie Books and Barnes and Noble Top 100, Indie Spotlight nonfiction finalist, nominated for 2023 Winning Writers Book of the Year and 2024 Reader’s Favorite.
“Amy is interrupted in the head like a firm thumb through a supple apple's bruise winters witch, our Saint Salish the loudest howler specializes in alchemic thaumaturgy and conjures among scarlet skies the banshee battle calls and the rattling chains of snarling dogs with bone bright teeth and bloody jaws. . ." In her poignant 2023 memoir, Amy Ronhaar took us on an exceptional journey through her grieving daughterhood and continuous search into understanding the deeply interesting and complex pathology of mental disorder and rage. Openly regarded as harboring unrelenting fury, her simply profound poetic work From the Dogs Jaws containing only six specially selected poems is a fervent reflection into the deep ongoing fabric of the author's artful madness and phenomenally unbound spirit.
A free personal column from a force of nature personified; Vulnerable, poetic commentary around the beautifully difficult, disturbing enormities at the helm of the human condition such as mental disorder, grief, and ongoing personal discovery in recovery.
