What People are Saying
Amber Skylar pulls no punches and makes no excuses as she excavates the darkest moments of an extraordinary life. Though I sensed the oncoming train in one chapter after another, I could not look away. Her story is a compelling view of a woman’s experience, one from which young women can take counsel and older ones nod in recall of our own past in an awakening “me too” American culture. The fact she lives today a successful life is a testament to human resilience. I could not put it down, even as it made an indelible footprint in my heart.
Written with raw honesty and candor, Colors of Amber is an intelligent, well-written and thoughtful memoir dealing with hardship, love, learning, growing and the strength of the human spirit. It will move and touch the heart of any reader.
The extreme adversity and tough times the author goes through in the early chapters is tragic, but it sets the stage for her journey and overcoming obstacles that forms the foundation for an inspiring read. The strength of the author’s spirit comes through in the end, having learned some tough lessons and in the end being stronger for it.
As a therapist, I spend a great deal of time and energy listening to individuals recount their “story”… It’s an essential part of the therapeutic process, and it requires an incredible amount of trust on the part of the patient. Amber has lit a path for anyone seeking redemption and/or freedom from the yoke of their pasts. Her story is written with an honesty and openness from which every reader can learn. It exemplifies the depths one must reach in order to attain a way out of the abyss.

I have a PODCAST. I'm speaking out. I know with all the challenges we face in 2021 with the evolution of thought and behavior toward others, I think this issue, rape - is equally and even more important than issues around guns. You don't need a gun to be this violent and I believe the only way to develop strength and courage is to get more involved in social changes. Face the pain, don't run from it. Donate money. Volunteer. I know, we are all just wanting things to be as they were. They will never be. You have more strength than you know to face these behaviors as described by others. You cannot tackle a problem until you understand its impact socially. Someone you know has been raped. Rape happens. #metoo #amberbskylar #voiceofamber #rape #trauma #mentalhealth ...
