A.M. Peabody is the first Liberian woman to pen and publish a full-length novel. She survived a violent coup d'etat in Liberia, which resulted in a vicious military attack on her family's home, where she, her sons, and her husband took refuge. Soldiers of the opposing political party went on a 20-minute shooting rampage on the home and debated on whether to assassinate her entire family. Her first book, Exiled - within the Bowels of American Society, was a tribute to the survival of the Liberian coup, which was endorsed by the former Liberian Ambassador and the former Liberian Minister of Information in 2003. A.M. Peabody is a highly sought-after public speaker on issues of gender-based violence and women empowerment. The author is the Founder and Executive Director of Global Woman P.E.A.C.E. Foundation, a 501c3 nonprofit organization. She and her organization were partly responsible for getting FGM criminalized in the Commonwealth of Virginia. The author resides in Northern Virginia. She has two sons and six grandchildren.
