In this deeply personal and unexpected episode of And She Rises the F*ck Up*, Amanda Frances shares the wild, surreal, and ultimately miraculous story of a home invasion that took place while she was traveling. From FaceTiming with the police in the middle of the night to making a public statement while news crews camped outside her home, Amanda walks us through the emotional rollercoaster of processing a traumatic event—her way.
