Dangling (ePub)

Amy grew up in Strawberry Plains, TN with her parents and older brother. As a child, she was somewhat of a "tomboy" who loved playing basketball and softball. She accepted Jesus as her Savior at the age of eight. Amy enjoys the benefits of having a large extended family who share the values of faith in God, family, and enjoying life. She met her husband, David, at Calvary Baptist Church in Knoxville, TN in January 1989. They were later married there in July 1991. God blessed them with the privilege of finalizing their adoption of both of their children, Kayla and Anthony, in December 1998. Amy enjoys boating on the lakes of east Tennessee, cooking out, movie nights, singing in the choir, "Thursday night dinners" at her parents' house, spontaneous getaways with her husband, and family beach vacations. Amy earned her Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Tennessee in Knoxville. She has worked as a social worker serving youth and their families in the East Tennessee area for twenty eight years. The last twenty years of her career were spent working at Omni Visions, a multi-state placement agency for children and adults.
