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.

Speaking
Seeking a dynamic speaker? As a single mother, a disabled veteran with PTSD, an advocate for abuse survivors, women’s/human rights, author, and a Master Yoga Educator, Amber is available to speak on many issues. Some of which are overcoming societal limitations, healing from trauma or abuse, overcoming adversity, and finding spiritual healing. She is inspirational and motivational.
Im tired of reading/listening to the challenges we are facing. We are already facing them. This is life. It is critical now that we uplift and encourage our workers, families and each other. History has ennumerable examples of perseverance, strength and resilience. COVID, politics, abuse cannot take us out. We will get through holidays, sickness, stress - because we can. Leaders step up your game. Face the problems with solutions. I say, "Game on"! Lead your people. Stop telling them how difficult it is when they already know.
