Amber Nicole Hayes has always been a masterful keeper of secrets. For twenty-five long years, silence was her dogged companion. But if Amber could carry such a heavy burden and appear to rest of the world as a contented mother, wife, and business owner, how many others were doing the same? Amber’s memoir, The Obedient Daughter, leaves no stone unturned as she explores the sibling sexual assault she experienced throughout childhood, under the shadow of a mother with undiagnosed borderline personality disorder. Compelled to break the chain of inter-generational trauma, Amber speaks to the unspeakable, proving that no secret is too heavy to share. Now the owner of a successful interior design studio, Amber specializes in creating safe and inspiring spaces for children and volunteering her time for causes she believes in. Amber lives in Alberta, Canada with two great kids, a saintly husband, and a Boston Terrier who is the perfect writing companion.
