In recent weeks Amanda Peterson, star of the 1980s teen movie “Can’t Buy Me Love,” was talking about a comeback. She had started writing an autobiography. She had a story to tell.

Amanda Peterson was born in Rochelle, Illinois and did most of her growing up in Moriarty, New Mexico. She was bitten by the writing bug early: writing for school newspapers, contests, and creating plenty of stories that never saw the light of day. As an adult, she has written Bible lessons for K-5th grades, newsletter articles, ladies' Bible studies, and devotional pieces.

Amanda, her husband, and their three girls live near the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland with three adorable kittens and one cranky old cat.
