    About this ebook

    Navigating love.
    Losing family.
    Accepting grief.
    Finding peace.

    Amber Campbell weaves through the journey of finding and losing love from friends, family, and partners in her first collection of poetry. Divided between three sections, her poetry explores the highs and lows of relationships, including hope, grief, acceptance, regret, and peace. The Ones is a conversational, heart-wrenching collection of everything love has to offer.
