My newsletter on psychology and mental health is called “How to Live” and can be found at https://amandastern.beehiiv.comI've published 13 books: a novel, The Long Haul; a memoir, Little Panic; The Frankly, Frannie Series (for kids) and the YA books You are SO Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah! and We are SO Crashing Your Bar Mitzvah.
