About the Book
Argentina gave her passion. Thailand, chaos. Ethiopia, reckoning. France and Italy, release. From her Mormon upbringing in Utah to humanitarian work in some of the world’s harshest corners, her path tested everything she believed about love, humanity, and purpose. She nearly died from parasites, but what truly consumed her was guilt, the kind born from privilege, faith, and the impossible urge to fix what can’t be fixed.
Alchemy of a Woman is a memoir—raw, darkly funny, and fiercely self-aware—about transformation through fire, faith, and freedom. Spanning a decade of her life, Amanda sheds the layers of religion, expectation, and romantic illusion as she learns that compassion isn’t self-sacrifice; it’s love that has burned through guilt and come out gold.
