SHEBOYGAN, Wisc. — Local author known as Amanda K has released her debut work, Comma Day: One Woman’s 1,000 Day Pilgrimage of Healing, Hope, & Embracing Sobriety.

The book offers perspective to those supporting someone in recovery, while also offering validation and community to those on the journey. Her story speaks to finding hope within a world of constant change.
With the release of Comma Day, Amanda achieves a lifelong dream of becoming a published author.
“If you told 10-year-old me that in 30 years, I’d just then be self-publishing my first book which was about my sobriety journey, I think my tiny heart would have broken. I’m glad no one told me this. … Adult me is watching a childhood dream come true, and that’s a pretty big deal no matter how long it took,” said Amanda.
