Amy (Goebelbecker) Clipston '95
Amy (Goebelbecker) Clipston '95 is a published author of "A Gift of Grace," an ECPA and CBA best seller, which is the first in a six-book series with Zondervan. Another book, "Betrayed," is debuting in September with Five Star/Gale Publishing.
After living in New Jersey and Virginia, Amy now lives in North Carolina with her husband, Joe, and their two sons, Zac and Matt. Amy and Joe are part of a paired organ donors program, which opens the doors for more live organ donations. Joe needs a second kidney transplant and Amy is not a match for him; however, she is ready to donate a kidney to someone else. By enrolling in the program, Amy and Joe are included in a database including kidney donors and recipients who are willing to swap. Once a match is found for Joe, Amy will give one of her kidneys in exchange. For more information about the Paired Donation Network, go to www.paireddonation.org. Learn more about Amy's books or e-mail her at AmyCsBooks@gmail.com.
