With more than 20 years as a local journalist and a lifetime of growing up in the area, she felt called to write it.2:02 Amy explains that she grew up in North Palm Beach, went to school in Palm Beach Gardens, left for college, then returned home to live and work locally.2:31 Kellen suggests the book could become a tour, series, or documentary. Amy says people have already suggested an interactive trolley style experience and agrees the material could work visually.3:26 Amy breaks down her process, brainstorming ideas, building an outline, checking dates, verifying overlapping local family history, and handling photo permissions.
