What happens when a multi-award-winning journalist's six-month manic writing spree lands her in the psych ward - hunting down short yellow pencils and sticky notes like they're contraband?
You get this book.
Not a memoir. Memoir-adjacent. 250 pages of honest, unfiltered, laugh-out-loud-then-ugly-cry truth from a woman navigating daily life with a cocktail of brain hiccups - written the way a neurodivergent brain actually works. No neat chapters. No tidy bow. Just sticky notes, stubby pencils, and the stuff most people are too ashamed to say out loud.
This is a multi-layered art experience - scribbles, constellation connections, Easter eggs hidden in every illustration, fandom references, and rabbit trails that somehow all connect. Because you cannot explain a beautifully haywired mind by putting words alone on a page. Neurotypical readers may get dizzy. Neurodivergent readers will finally feel seen.
Along the way you'll meet her Keep Calm and Carry On British husband Philip - still processing what he signed up for - her three daughters the Neurospice Girls, and be invited into her sunshine-yellow and coffee grounds kitchen where she is forever perfecting the art of pyrotechnics. Thank you, ADHD.
You are not too much. You are not failing spiritually or as a person because your brain works differently. You were never meant to do this alone.
Honest. Insightful. Disarmingly funny. - Deseri Cunningham, Psy.D.
To read Amber is to know her - and to know her is to love her. - Deborah R. Maxey, PhD, LPC, LMFT
Room for grace, laughter, and hope - for ourselves and those we love. - Dr. Michelle Bengtson, board-certified clinical neuropsychologist
An excellent (and legally questionable) prescription. - Chris Crain, RPh - Amber's Pharmacist
Welcome to the #sisterhoodoftheshortyellowpencils. It's messy. So are we. Let's laugh about it.
