We're delighted to have Amanda with us for our new mini-spotlight feature, where we hand a double-wide open mic slot to someone with something to shout about! Amanda has a brand new collection out, called Heart On Her Sleeve, inspired by her life as as a full time heart failure nurse specialist and a single mother to two amazing children. Honest, candid with deep rooted, raw personal reflections on depression, life and love, her writing will touch your hearts and minds.
