A Relief Society night with Amy Sutorius Harmon


Amy Harmon is a USA Today and New York Times Bestselling author. Amy knew at an early age that writing was something she wanted to do, and she divided her time between writing songs and stories as she grew. Having grown up in the middle of wheat fields without a television, with only her books and her siblings to entertain her, she developed a strong sense of what made a good story. Her books are now being published in several countries, truly
 a dream come true for a little country girl from Levan, Utah.  Amy Harmon has written five novels - the USA Today Bestsellers,
Making Faces and Running Barefoot, as well  as Slow Dance in the New York Times Bestseller, A Different Blue. Her  sixth novel, INFINITY + ONE, will be released in June, 2014.
NOTE: (Running Barefoot is the book about Levan.)



Amy came and spoke at our Relief Society Weekday
Activity on May 22, 2014. She spoke about discovering
and developing talents and pursuing dreams the Lord's way.

Amy and Hiedee were friends in High School. 
Hiedee made arrangements for Amy to come.
She and her family now live in Mapleton, Utah.
