The Getting Real With Hilary Show with Hilary Arnow Burns

Title: S4EP9, You Can't Mess This Up with Amy Weinland Daughters

Summary:
"This is ridiculous,"  Amy told herself, but she did it anyway.  She wrote handwritten letters to her "friends" on Facebook, never knowing how this simple act would change so many lives.  Amy went with her gut, never stopping until she reached the end.  "Dear Dana," her second book, tells this heart-warming story of her relationship with Dana, someone she hadn't seen in 30 years.  Seeing the impact of a handwritten letter, Amy then goes on to write to her other Facebook friends.  

Her first book, "You Can't Mess This Up", is also a fascinating study in human nature.  Amy goes back to visit her family, including her 10-year-old self, as it was in 1978.  What Amy learns in this fictional time-travelling memoir could change your life.

Our conversation was fun, insightful, and real.  Join us in discussing Amy's books, her unbelievable connections, and how to follow your gut, despite what your thinking is telling you.

Thank you, Amy, for the difference you are making in so many lives.
