Amanda Read was born in 1990 and was homeschooled all her life. She has been a military child ever since she can remember, toured the nation and the world, and upon her father’s retirement from the U.S. Army, she and her family (including seven siblings) have shaped their 22 acres of land in Northeast Alabama into a homestead known as Fair Hills Farm. In 2004, her mother, Christine Read, discovered the fascinating history of Dr. Harvey W. Wiley and the Pure Food and Drug Act of
1906. After years of researching and writing, Amanda completed a
full length historical drama screenplay titled The Crusading Chemist in March 2008 and later completed a revision of it in January 2009. She is now a college student majoring in History and minoring in Political Science at Jacksonville State University.
