In this week’s Friday Five, we’re celebrating Amy B. Scher. Amy is the author of This is How I Save My Life: A True Story of Embryonic Stem Cells, Indian Adventures, and Ultimate Self-Healing. Amy has been able to write several articles about her journey to India that she documented in her new memoir. Below, you can read about why she chose to go to India, what she learned during her journey and why this life-changing experience is worth your read!
