"Unraveling Destiny: Amy Fish Reveals the Secrets Behind 'One In Six Million' and Its Unforgettable Journey"

And the reason I went to do an MFA is that I didn’t want the book to read that way. I didn’t want the book to read, “I met Stanley on Tuesday, and it was raining, and he was wearing a blue windbreaker, and he told me that his grandfather was in the suit business…” I didn’t know how to say, “Harry Diamond was in the suit business.” I just didn’t know how to write distantly like that, and I thought I need help.

I researched MFA programs. I wanted to go somewhere in Canada. I wanted creative nonfiction, and I wanted to apply with a project. And so I found one program that met all those criteria, and it was King’s College in Halifax, and it was an incredibly wonderful experience. And I did learn very quickly how to write from a distance like that.
