made headlines all around the world.

I hope you enjoy our conversation.

Amanda Clutes, what an honor to be with you today. Thank you so much for being here, sharing your

insights about your beautiful new book, live your life with us.

Thank you, Amanda.

Thank you, it's an honor to be with you, Susie.

Thank you so much for having me today. My gosh, Amanda, when I first received your book out this month, June 15, 2021, I was traveling and on the plane I was reading it non-stop. It's truly gripping. I felt like I was on the journey with you.

Oh, thank you. You and Anna, your sister co-wrote this book and I really believe that's what great writers do they put us in the place that they were and you take us along with you and it just reads it reads so easily and it's so so gripping and I kept so impacting you're and I was like yes truly this is a very human story it's incredibly moving and I thought to myself you know live your life we know your story you've we know your story, you've been so generous. And I thought, you know, I'm going into this book reading about loss and reading about grief. And that's there, but I felt, I mean, Amanda, my takeaway is that this is a love story and it's a love letter to Nick Kordero. That's what the book is. That was my, that's how I received it. as we just spoke you know speaking a moment ago

even your sister must be so proud of this work that you've put out. Well Susie you're so

sweet like in just what you just said you don't even understand all the little

compliments you just gave because we are so proud but the fact that you were

reading it and you said that we took you on the journey that was like one of our main goals with this story because we really did feel like you know when when you think about 95 days it seems like such a long time right and then when you're even when we were

going through that time period it felt like such a long period of time but then

retrospectively you know 90 days go so fast, you know, think about it.
