Welcome to Eternally Amy! Amy Liz Harrison has always been looking for a connection throughout her life, from her early years as an awkward girl in the choir, through her years at college and meeting her husband. It wasn’t until Amy became a mother and fell in with a friendly neighborhood book club that she stopped feeling like an outsider… even if that came with several glasses of wine. But surely she could stop drinking whenever she wanted, right?
