Amber lives for summer. She works at a boat shop, her home is out at the lake and she makes the most out of the sunny season. A colleague, a friend and a woman Amber never met, shine a light on how Amber's bright spark may have been darkened forever.

And if you want to help support Amber’s friends, you can join them on Facebook through the group, 'Finding Amber Manthorne'.
