In the Hills is a collection of poetry about Southeastern Ohio. In this collection Amba captures the beauty, people, wonder, history, whimsy, and change in the place called Hocking Hills. This volume captures her love and appreciation of a land that she holds dear to her heart. A place she calls home. Amba started visiting Southeastern Ohio twenty-five years ago. Lake Hope and Hocking Hills are where her girls grew up on weekend getaways, day trips, and week long vacations. It was the best thing from a bad relationship. It was a place that soothed her soul.

When she first came to the hills, the state parks were sleepy little holes in the wall, places that no one knew about. It stayed that way for a long time. A weekend and you felt like the whole park was there just for you. She fell in love with the landscape, the people, the magic. She decided that she needed to live in the hills among the hemlocks and waterfalls. In this book she pays homage to them all. If you too love Hocking Hills you will love this book.
