Heartbreak Stories - Amber, 78 

I met Amber on a couch at one of my favourite cafes in Amsterdam. Her dog Che (Guevara) was insisting on settling in my lap. Over a coffee and an apple pie we talked about life and love. Originally from California, Amber's been calling Amsterdam her home for over 20 years. She had travelled the world, was a go-go dancer at some point, a cabaret performer and a manager of a jazz band.
She shared with me her toughest heartbreak story that she'd survived 52 years ago.
