Stories by Amy Brown
Amy Brown has a gift for making the ordinary unforgettable.
In this collection of 100 true stories, she takes you by the
hand and walks you through the folks she’s known and
the roads she’s walked: growing up Southern, raising a
family, fumbling and finding her way in business, and
discovering again and again that kindness still matters.
Some of these stories will split your sides, some will sting
your eyes, and a few might just change the way you see
your own life. From barefoot childhood adventures to
boardroom lessons, from casseroles left at the right time
to the mercy that showed up when everything else fell
apart, these pages remind us that the ordinary is where
life’s meaning hides.
Told with warmth, wit, and a touch of grit, Amy’s voice
feels like your favorite neighbor leaning in to say, “Let me
tell you what happened…” By the last page, you’ll feel like
you’ve known her — and her folks — all your life.
About
Amy Brown
Amy Brown is a storyteller, noticer, and keeper of the in-between places where faith and real life meet. A former banker turned bourbon farmer, she now tends both soil and soul at Doc Brown Farm in Georgia — where heritage grains grow into small-batch spirits and stories worth sipping slow.
Rooted in generations of farmers, Amy’s work is part memoir, part mission — to remind people that the good stuff in life still grows from hard work, heartbreak, and grace.
Her words, much like her whiskey, are distilled from experience — from boardrooms and backroads, from grief and grit, from the laughter of grandchildren and the quiet lessons of dirt. Through her writing and speaking, Amy invites others to see the sacred woven through the ordinary. And even when life refuses to tidy itself up — when chapters end too soon or dreams bend in ways we never planned — she reminds us to keep moving, keep hoping, and keep showing up.

The RenJan Foundation
Some folks leave their mark in grand gestures.
My parents, Rennis and Janice Brown, left theirs in quieter ways — through casseroles carried to sick neighbors, gas money slipped into a friend’s hand, and kind words offered when the world felt heavy. They never looked for recognition; they just believed goodness was meant to be shared.
The RenJan Foundation was born from that same spirit — a way to keep their hearts beating out in the world. A portion of the proceeds from my book will go toward the foundation, honoring their lifelong example of helping, giving, and loving well.
Because Rennis and Janice taught us that when you lead with love, you never run out of it.
