About Julie…

Julie Spencer, author of Every Family Has a Kenny©, is an international memoir writer whose life spans continents, cultures, and extraordinary moments in history. Raised between a CIA father and a bohemian mother in developing countries, she brings a rare global perspective to her storytelling.

From meeting presidents and emperors to working with celebrities, Julie’s life reads like a front-row seat to history—told with honesty, resilience, and a touch of humor. Her memoir explores family, identity, love, loss, cancer, and perseverance, including her fight for legislative change after her son survived a violent hit-and-run. The California State Legislature recognized her advocacy efforts for animal rescue and safety.

Blending deeply personal experiences with a global lens, Julie’s work reflects what it means to find home, navigate life’s complexities, and rise above adversity with strength, grace, and a humor-driven perspective.
