A collection of poems dealing with how the past determines the future in unexpected, but irreversible ways. Fate intervenes and decides the future. But fate is a result of choice, sometimes, a freak accident - Right Turn

Another poem expounds how one foolish, thoughtless moment will change a whole life - Moment of Madness

There are poems that invoke the finality of a decision made. It is not so much that there are no regrets, once can regret choices made, but there is no knowing what the outcome of would have been - My Letter to Self.

There are echoes of Darwin and how random mutation leads to unforeseen outcomes - Curiosity Gene

There are rich observations of nature in this collection of poems. Charming insights into the inhabitants of her garden go alongside her telling insights into climate change, from the sullen, depressing wetness of England to the fearsome threat of fire in an Australian heatwave.

There are many of Amber's acute observation of childhood here. One, movingly shows how to a small, uncertain and sensitive boy, a sister and a dog are more use than parents - Hiding

Another invokes a certain childhood innocence, but not without a typical undercurrent that something was not quite as it should be - Before Thirteen

A theme of reconciliation that can come with maturity and love is considered - Still as a Child
