"Yet you go away with your mind made up to have one like it?" "Because of the sweetness of it! When we go back to our houses we are quiet and pleased, untired; we think kindly thoughts of our host and hostess and of each other--I quite love Mr. Fanshawe after one of his wife's parties."

Princess Amber was written as a tribute to the beautiful life of a little girl who attended Gosford East Primary School. Everyone loved her and the things she did were amazing considering the severe medical condition she had from birth. Amber lived for nine years and her short life touched thousands. Film crews travelled from Chicago to film her story and a Lions Club in California is named after her. She stood on the stage in front of International Lions Club representatives as an example of the triumph of the human spirit over adversity and the courage that just one little girl could show the world. Her life made a difference. Her family wanted this book to be published to encourage all those parents who take their new-born baby in their arms and think "there are so many problems. What will ever become of my baby?". Love did and always will overcome all difficulties. Love never fails, it wins!
