Author Biography
Amie Lands is a wife, mother, teacher and author. She is the proud founder of The Ruthie Lou Foundation and a Certified Grief Recovery Specialist(R).

When Ruthie Lou died, Amie felt thrown into a sea of pain that she never wanted or imagined. She wandered the bookstores searching for a book that could help guide her through the unimaginable decisions she and her husband were facing and the lifetime of grief that they were embarking upon. She needed to know that others had survived this experience because she didn't believe that she could continue living with the pain of her broken heart.
This is the book Amie searched for when her precious baby died.
