About the Author

Amanda's teenage years were turbulent. It was compounded by the loss of her adoptive dad, the subsequent depression of her adoptive mum and the meeting with her birth mother. Amanda's guardian angel has to be the teacher she had at Art School who gave her a fresh start and showed her the power Art has to shape our lives, when all else seems lost.

After working in various art and design jobs she 'fell' into teaching and work with students who didn't achieve at school, to give them a second chance. Today, she considers herself lucky to have two wonderful 'mums' and a young family of her own.
