THE THINGS THAT BECAME ME

The Things That Became Me is a lyrical poetry collection exploring the forces that shape a woman’s life—lineage, loss, motherhood, faith, and the quiet light that survives every darkness. Through poems rooted in memory and generational healing, Amanda traces the women she comes from and the children who transformed her, revealing how every burden and blessing becomes part of who we are. These pages invite readers to honor their own becoming, to recognize the beauty in what shaped them, and to rise gently into the woman they are still becoming.
