She was too busy to
keep a diary.
Luckily American Express
kept one for her.

Amy wrote STATEMENTS
after realizing that the old
American Express statements
buried in boxes in her closet were
a "diary" of how she'd literally
spent her early years living, working,
and looking for love in Manhattan
when it seemed like the only knight
in armor she'd find was the one on
the front of her Amex card.
Every purchase tells a story.

Reader's Digest selected
STATEMENTS as Editor's Choice.
Msnbc.com called it
"Plastic fantastic . . . delightful."

". . . funny and poignant . . . Bridget
Jones' Diary with dollar signs,"
raved Budget Living. USA TODAY
wrote ". . . sure to bring a smile"

Newsweek.com called
STATEMENTS, "A clever memoir.
. . more revealing than any diary."
Seen on the "Today" show,heard
on NPR's"Talk of the Nation."

Penguin's Roadside Amusements
imprint has ceased operations, so while
Amy's second humor book is hard
to find, it's worth a little
wear and tear on your Manolo
Blahniks to track a copy down.
