Change Becomes Us

In 2022, Amy faced the most challenging decision of her life: stay in the job she knew and loved as a high school English teacher, making a difference in the lives of teens, but continue to risk her relationship with her friends, her family, her health - and her own children? Or leap into the unknown? Amy's choice resulted in these poems, as she processed her way through grief into joy on the other side. For everyone who knows what it takes to change the world, one baby step at a time - and a reminder to all creatives that changing the world starts first with changing you.
