   Summary

   She knew it would be a problem, it always was at some point. She hoped it wouldn't be, but she knew it would. When Amber Richardson arrived at Alexandria with nothing but her bow and her pills, and met damn good people for the first time in perhaps her life, she knew she was going to ruin it all with her stupid broken brain.

   A slice of life look into Amber's relationship with Daryl and the rest of the group while fighting with her internal demons.
