Endorsed by Jenny Donnelly, Dr. David Newman, Tiffany Seifman & Cheryl Krichbaum

Always Amber is a touching journey of loss and redemption. As a young girl, Amber faced the unimaginable tragedy of her father's death, a heart-wrenching event that shattered her world, shook her faith, and left a father-shaped hole in her heart.

As she grappled with profound grief, Amber turned from God toward a spiraling cycle of destructive thoughts and behaviors, compounding her trauma by making choices that only deepened her pain and sense of abandonment, including a life-altering decision to have an abortion. These missteps led her down a path of insecurity, shame, and a struggle with her worth and her identity.

From the depths of trauma to the battle against strongholds that threatened to define her, Amber faced hard truths that tested her strength and resolve.
