About the Author

Hirsch, Amanda: - Amanda Hirsch is obsessed with the stories we tell and why and how we tell them. As both an artist (writer, improv actor) and office-misfit-turned-entrepreneur (company: Mighty Forces), she is fueled by the desire to solve problems, tell the truth, and help people feel like they belong. Voted "most likely to host a talk show" and "most congenial" by her high school class (go Rockets!), she lives in New York's Hudson Valley with her husband Jordan, their daughter Ali, and their dog Clover, whom she enjoys impersonating.
