What Readers Are Saying

Discover how my work resonates with readers—here's their feedback!

Amy Liz Harrison's books are such a valuable contribution to people in the orbit of the recovery community or who just want to better understand mental health and family issues. This latest project of hers is no exception. I came to know her work after becoming a fan of her memoirs. This may be my new favorite though. It's a service to families and children who have questions about the sobriety experience and will teach important lessons even to grown ups.
Edwin B. Neill
Eternally Expecting is engaging, honest and witty. I laughed out loud and related to so much in her story, self-doubt, motherhood, and living in recovery.
L. James
Eternally Expecting is a witty twist about one who has gone through the dark side of addiction and come out the other side shining as a beacon of hope for others. Amy’s profound honesty, candor, and straightforward vulnerability takes the reader on a journey showing how blinded she was by her addiction and how powerless and unmanageable her life had become. I love how she compares her spiral downward to rock bottom similar to the different stages of giving birth, ending her blessing of recovery to that of holding a newborn for the first time. Sprinkled with a hearty amount of humor, this story is not only good for someone recovering from addiction, but for anyone who is confronting difficult challenges in their lives.
John Ferriera
This book is a laugh out loud walk down memory lane for anyone who grew up in the 80s. Do you remember waiting for hours to record your favorite song from the radio? How about missing kids on milk cartons or Wet n Wild lipgloss? This book is full of relatable references. We all lived through some awkward times, so we might as well laugh about it!
Glenn
I highlight recommend Amy's book! As an 80s baby myself, I had a fun time reliving some of the pain points and hilarity we all faced growing up then. Amy's vulnerability about her anxiety and ADHD was truly inspiring as we read more and more about women not being diagnosed or being misdiagnosed. You won't be disappointed!

Amy Harrison has our son (and us!) hooked with this first book in her Alchemy Air series. Creative and fun story line that is so relatable for kids young and old. As you read it you are taken into the journey and feel everything along with Zippy.
Kelly
Amy Liz Harrison has written a heartwarming story in Zippy Explores Honesty that kids (and adults!) will certainly be able to relate to. As a parent wanting to raise emotionally healthy humans, this book will be a helpful tool in my toolkit. Our family is looking forward to the rest of the series!
