Pamela Meredith Hamilton, Storyteller
Secondhand Smoke, the Memoir
Secondhand Smoke is a memoir that speaks to the invisible burdens we inherit—the pain, struggles, and trauma passed down through generations, much like the lingering effects of secondhand smoke. We don't always suffer because of choices we've made, but rather because of the ones made before us.
Through raw honesty and heartfelt storytelling, I share my journey of resilience, healing, and the profound lessons learned along the way. At the heart of this book is a story of love, sacrifice, and the unbreakable bonds of family. It’s about the moment I stood in a hospital room, looking down at a tiny baby girl who had already been left behind, yet who would become the greatest chapter of my own story. It’s about understanding that while brokenness can shape us, it doesn’t have to define us.
This book is not just my story—it is a call to action. A reminder that healing is mandatory, that we can choose to break cycles, and that even in our darkest moments, our stories can be a beacon of light for someone else.
If you’ve ever felt the weight of inherited pain, questioned your own resilience, or searched for meaning in the midst of struggle, Secondhand Smoke is for you. Because sometimes, the greatest love stories aren’t about romance—they're about the family we fight for, the truths we uncover, and the healing we refuse to postpone.

Thank you to my three beautiful daughters, for without you the task of raising another child would have been nearly impossible. You are all beautiful role models to a little person who loves you all dearly. You all added an enormous beauty to this story. I will never forget the donation of your time, energy, resources, and the loss of my semi-undivided attention. I am eternally grateful for your love and support.

What are some of the words that describe you and your life?
The "My Brokenness Is Beautiful" Campaign
In July 2019 I participated in the Dear World storytelling Initiative at an industry conference. The My Brokenness Is Beautiful message gave me an avenue to tell my story with four words. There is power in our stories. They have the potential to promote healing and freedom. It allows people to relate based on life experience.
Instead of looking at life's hardships as scars, embrace them as part of your genetic makeup. With some coaching you can learn to wear them as beauty marks. What's ugly about experiences that have made you stronger, wiser, faith believing, and dependent on God to be all that he says he is? It's all about perception, acceptance, and healing.
Remember all things meant for evil, God meant for good. Do you want to wear scars and look like what you have been through, or do you want to embrace it and let it fuel you to be all that God has called you to be? Your Brokenness is Beautiful! Let me coach you through it and teach you how to turn that brokenness into beauty. Let's ignite every passion within you to thrive against all odds.
