Hey there! I’m Amber, author of Wild in the Hollow, mother to the Haines Boys (4 in all), and wife of fellow-author Seth Haines (for 21 years).

Why Subscribe to Story Letters?

Paid subscribers get full access to every newsletter I write. My aim is to offer solidarity on your journey toward healing as I process my own, and much of my processing involves soil, my southern accent, and a great deal of grit. I’m learning to be kin with the soil, and I write often about the stuff of earth and the sacramental practices we can engage to be participators of HOPE - particularly in the face of despair. Every paid newsletter includes an essay, a piece of art to move you, a benediction before you go, and then some lagniappe.

If you’re not into paying for what you read, that’s cool, too. Really! You’ll still get my once-a-month free newsletter when you subscribe that way. There, I’ll keep you up-to-date with some of the lighter things, let you in on what I’ve been enjoying, maybe update you on my garden, and help you feel better (or at least not so alone) about your saggy neck skin.

Stay up-to-date

You won’t have to worry about missing anything. Every new edition of the newsletter goes directly to your inbox.

Come on!
