Who on earth am I supposed to be?
Travel alongside Amy on a journey of self-discovery and growth.
Are you ready and willing to wrestle with yourself to find you?
Perhaps no one has ever been as pleased to receive a cancer diagnosis as Amy Ewald.
When Amy was plagued with a mysterious itch that wouldn’t stop for over six months, it not only impacted her daily life, but she could feel her relationships beginning to fray and her identity crumbling. How was she supposed to respond to the unknown? Was there something she could do to create certainty and stability? Why was the God of love she believed in conspicuously absent?
Finding Me chronicles the thoughts, emotions and questions that arose throughout this challenging time. It’s a tale of a cancer discovery that, in fact, isn’t really about cancer. Rather, it:
- Shows how a challenging period can reveal your identity
- Demonstrates how troubles can encourage mental, emotional and spiritual growth
- Includes ways to find inner resilience and strength to journey through difficult times.
Full of honest reflections and raw emotions, Finding Me offers a front-row seat to an individual wrestling with herself and God and the transformations that resulted from that match. It raises the fundamental question: how can we use the dark periods we traverse to change our perspectives and the way we live our lives?

"It’s raw. It’s hard to read at times. It’s beautifully heartfelt. It was effortless to find myself sitting in the various scenes she described – whether a doctor’s office, a kitchen table, a clinic, an airplane with two toddlers.
I’m grateful for Amy’s willingness to share this story and genuinely hope that countless people discover the courage and inspiration in the pages of Finding Me."

"Finding Me sheds light on the real, raw, humour filled and also sobering encounters many of us overlook when those near and dear to us are walking through trying seasons.
It's not just a book about cancer, it is a book about life, understanding how to navigate and remaining rooted in the wake of unexpected news. I highly recommend this!"
Eugenia Marembo

"Every book reveals a story of the human being who wrote it and I've never felt more connected with an author than I've been with Amy by reading her book.
You don't have to go through cancer so you can relate to this book... You just need to be human and I highly recommend you not only reading it about Amy but also reading it about you; because it is."
Minor Arias

"This book was one of the rare ones where I couldn't and didn't want to put it down until I read the very last page. One could relate to her challenges and suffering even if the circumstances are different.
A feel-good inspiring real story, narrated through the lens of humour at unexpected moments."

"Having a family history of cancer, and seeing my brother's journey with it, this touching story reminded me of the courage and uniqueness of every person who is diagnosed with cancer.
The struggle and heartache, the unknown and the known. This story held me captive and left me wanting to know more."
