About Amelia Zachry:

An author writing a book about her chaotic and magical life.

When she met her husband, she moved to live with him in Japan, then Canada. During her time in Canada, she obtained a bachelor’s in human ecology with a concentration in family studies from the University of Western Ontario.

She began writing her debut memoir after finding her voice, bringing to light secrets she had kept. Secrets of sexual assault and, subsequently bipolar disorder that she suffers from. She is an advocate for mental health and sexual assault awareness, supporting causes to dismantle rape culture and normalize mental health.
