The Brave In-Between

“Amy Low’s journey of alchemizing life’s wounds into hope, courage, and forgiveness is poignant and powerful. She finds grace in the depths, buoyed by her faith–and offers us guidance to do the same.”–J. Dana Trent, author of Between Two Trailers
“Amy Low’s story is at once fragile and strong. And yet in the hardest places, we know that fragility and strength are often intertwined. Amy brings us all closer to that intertwined space. This book gives us new ways to hold both, with renewed resilience and gratitude.”–Arne Duncan, former United States Secretary of Education, CEO of Chicago Public Schools and founder of CRED
“Every day, all over the world, people get news they cannot bear–of a diagnosis, a coup, a melting polar ice cap, a sudden, wrenching loss, a newly named variant. With honesty, humor, wisdom and grace, Amy Low shines a light through the darkness. This book is a treasure to live by, to wrap up with a bow and give to everyone we know.”–Amanda Ripley, New York Times bestselling author of The Smartest Kids in the World, The Unthinkable, and High Conflict
“So many of Amy’s dispatches read like poetry– deeply wise, profound, gorgeously written. Her words vibrate with optimism, humor, and her relentless spirit. In these dystopian days we need a voice like Amy’s to shake us out of our stupor and remind us to take one more step forward, one more step up that mountain.”–Dave Isay, founder of NPR’s StoryCorps and New York Times bestselling author of Listening is an Act of Love, Callings, and more
“So many people are in pain these days, enduring hard times, facing challenges. They are wondering, ‘How do I do this?’ Amy Low is the perfect guide.”–David Brooks, New York Times columnist and New York Times bestselling author of How to Know a Person
“Amy’s story is a rich mix of courage, grace, persistence, and most important, love. This is a book to treasure.”–Laurene Powell Jobs, founder and president, Emerson Collective

Amy Low has been a storyteller all her life. She grew up in and continues to live life through parables and metaphors. She sees her life as an invitation to discovering the new every day.

Amy manages all of Emerson’s communications platforms, and also advises various partners to help bring more attention to ideas and programs that are making a meaningful difference in the world.

Before joining Emerson Collective, Amy was chief advocacy and engagement officer at Landesa, a global non-governmental organization committed to curbing rural poverty through the power of secure land rights. She also spent nearly a decade with the political and communications consulting firm, GMMB, where she advised the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to build support for education reform, early learning, and family homelessness.

Most important, Amy is mom to Connor (18) and Lucy (16). Her proudest achievement is raising a son and daughter who one day will be spectacular and forever curious dinner party guests.
