Description
After Amy Turner is mowed down by a pickup truck, she struggles to heal the trauma of her own brush with death-a process that, unexpectedly and despite her resistance, forces her to confront a childhood trauma she thought she resolved long ago: the morning her father climbed onto a fifty-foot-high ledge outside his hotel window and threatened to jump, an event that made national news.

Person
Amy Turner was born in Bronxville, New York, and is a graduate of Boston University, with a degree in political science, and of New York Law School, with a Juris Doctor Degree. After practicing law (rather unhappily) for twenty-two years, she finally found the courage to change careers at forty-eight and become a (very happy) seventh grade social studies teacher. A long time meditator and avid reader who loves to swim and bike, Amy lives in East Hampton, New York, with her husband, Ed, to whom she’s been married for forty years. They have two sons. On the Ledge is Amy’s first book.
