Book 1 - Beauty For Ashes Refined In The Fire
What if the fire wasn’t sent to destroy you… but to define you?
There comes a moment when life cracks wide open—and everything familiar disappears into the flames. But if you lean in, listen close, and refuse to give up, you’ll discover something sacred in the ashes: you. Stronger. Softer. Refined.
From heartbreak and betrayal to healing and holy ground, Amy Bragdon invites you on a deeply personal and unforgettable journey through The 10 Refinements, transformative seasons of becoming where faith is tested, resilience is built, and purpose is forged in fire.
This isn’t just a story of survival.
It’s a story of refining.
With raw vulnerability and soul-deep insight, Amy opens the pages of her life to reveal the cracks—and the glory that poured through them. Her story will remind you that even the darkest chapters can hold divine beauty, and that your deepest pain might just be the birthplace of your calling.
You’re not being ruined.
You’re being refined.
And on the other side of the fire, there is joy.
There is calling.
There is you, rising.
· For the woman becoming.
· For the ashes that turned to beauty, and the beauty still to come.
· For every moment that whispers, you’re not done yet.
This book is for you.
Book 2 - Rising From The Ashes
The Healing Power of Becoming
What if your most broken moments held the keys to your becoming?
Amy Bragdon’s life unraveled slowly, then all at once—a family medical crisis, a house fire, career overwhelm, caregiving roles… and yet, something powerful emerged from the ashes.
In this soulful and compelling memoir, Amy shares how she rose—not in spite of the chaos, but because of it. Through moving reflections and transformative travels across Venice, Paris, New Orleans, Quebec, and beyond, she captures what it means to find peace without perfection and purpose through pain.
From building saunas with her father to hosting strangers at Bragdon Airbnb…
From walking with her sister through trauma to lighting candles in cathedrals…
From crumbling under the weight of responsibility to daring to dream again…
This is a story about faith, resilience, restoration—and the beauty that waits on the other side of surrender.
Whether you're grieving, caregiving, surviving, or simply searching, this book is a hand on your shoulder whispering:
"You’re not alone. You’re not too late. And you can still Become Anyway."
Book 3 - For Such A Time As This Appointed To Rise
You don’t need a stage to lead.
You don’t need perfection to rise.
You were appointed—on purpose, for purpose.
In a world that often feels loud, divided, and uncertain, For Such a Time as this is a timely and soul-stirring invitation to step boldly into who you were always meant to be. Whether you're a caregiver, a creative, a business leader, or a woman simply holding it all together behind the scenes, this book is a sacred call to rise with legacy, lead with love, and live fully on purpose.
Best selling Author and storyteller Amy Bragdon weaves personal stories, scriptural wisdom, and deep spiritual reflection to walk you through 10 Sacred Appointments—powerful truths that will:
· Reframe your identity
· Restore your hope
· Reignite your purpose
· Equip you to lead with boldness and love
This book isn’t a memoir—though you’ll find her heart on every page.
It’s not a leadership manual—though you’ll discover the leader within.
And it’s not self-help—because the help comes from something higher.
By the final chapter, you will be more than inspired—you’ll be activated.
Rooted in grace. Called by name. Ready to rise.
You’re not becoming someone new.
You’re remembering who you’ve been all along, throughout your becoming.

Book 1 - The Boy, the Squirrel and the Acorn Under the Oak Tree
Each one plays a part.
No matter how big or how small
From the Author — Debbie Bragdon (Lovingly known as Grammy Debbie - Author Amy Bragdon's momma)
The Boy, the Squirrel, and the Acorn Under the Oak Tree is a heartfelt and imaginative story written by Debbie Bragdon—lovingly known as Grammy Debbie—whose words are rooted in love, legacy, and the beauty of storytelling passed down through generations.
Book Summary
Beneath the sheltering branches of a great oak tree, a young boy discovers a world of wonder, imagination, and quiet lessons about life. As he builds a treehouse with his father and dreams of the future, a small squirrel nearby carefully buries acorns—seemingly simple actions that hold a much greater purpose.
Unbeknownst to the boy, the acorn begins a journey of its own, growing silently beneath the soil into something strong and enduring. As the years pass, both the boy and the tiny seed transform—one into a man, the other into a mighty tree—each shaped by time, care, and unseen moments of growth.
Through seasons of change, joy, loss, and renewal, this touching story beautifully weaves together the lives of the boy, the squirrel, and the acorn, revealing a powerful truth: every role matters. No act is too small. Each life, each moment, and each contribution plays a meaningful part in the greater story.
With gentle wisdom and a grandmother’s love woven into every page, Grammy Debbie invites readers of all ages to reflect, dream, and recognize their own importance in the world.
“Each one plays a part—no matter how big or how small.”
