Amber Appleton is a homeless teen who radiates positivity and faith despite her circumstances. After a life-altering tragedy, this hope is tested; unlikely friends whose lives she's changed--a lonely veteran, nursing home patients, a Korean priest, and others--rally to rebuild her spirit. Amber's first-person voice is undeniably unique and it solidly carries the story through moments of sorrow, hilarity, and inspiration.
