When I wrote and published the book This is a Good Day to Live, it was to honor my daughter, Amber, who at 18 was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma. After many years of chemotherapy, including a stem-cell transplant, she died on June 10th, 1999 at the age of 22. At that time, I felt like my own life was over as well.
Fast forward ten years and the sale of over 400 books, and the inception of the Amber Carter Memorial Scholarship set up at the Arroyo Grande High School in 2000. So far giving over $12,000 in scholarships to Dance Company students.
