Amber Mention in TIME Magazine!
Nov 3rd issue :)

If God, however, is simply asking Joan to do what all teens have to do - develop an identity - Arcadia works because Tamblyn reminds us so well how tough that job is. Joan may talk to God, but she has to do the work her own motral self, from accepting life's unfairness to finding her niche at school. [Show creator] Barbara Hall calls Joan a "metaphysical warrior," and the battles that go on behind Tamblyn's wrinkled brow are as compelling as any supernatural fireworks. Unlike most primetime teens, Joan is neither a babe nor a brain, neither a Goody Two-Shoes nor a sarcastic rebel. She's the most extraordinarily average teen to crop up on a TV show in years - yet after a few episodes, you realize you would watch her story even if God stopped showing up. Perhaps that is the true message of Joan of Arcadia; that God is a divine MacGuffin, dramatic bait to make us realize how interesting and powerful an oridnary person can be. In a TV world glutted with cops and superheroes, achieving that realization is a blessing indeed.

WOW that's so cool! And I have to agree, except for the babe thing cause I think Amber is very pretty, anyhow I think the rest of the review is absolutely right. I love the character of Joan, and her family.

Way to go Amber! :flower


To mourn is to forget yourself for a moment and get lost in someone else's pain and then, to find yourself in the very act of getting lost.
