I know Amber from a writing group we both go to and I have one thing to say - you did it girl!! How awesome to read and review an actual published book by you!!
A story inspired by Amber’s real life and her faith, which inspires a lot of her writing, this book is engaging, fast-paced, powerful and hopeful! There is something for everyone to get from it, regardless of your faith, and I was emotional reading it at times by the power of Amber’s beliefs and the comfort it brings. I could feel it from the pages and it really made me think and compare things in my own life. Amber - we will have a great discussion about this!
I love reading other people’s stories, and the power of people and what they have to say is very special - particularly us everyday, non-celebrity people! Amber proves that if you have something you want to share, then you should go ahead and write it!

Lovey read, story was so fluent and easy to follow, was really nice reading and picturing the characters finding themselves and developing throughout the book. Demonstrates that we can all change for the better if we want more for ourselves and family!
