We all have days when it seems the world as we know it is falling apart. Mouthy teenagers, forgotten cell phones, the pressure of deadlines, . . Lucy Linfeld, wife, mother and former lawyer, chafes at her husband s demands to present a perfect image to their world in his quest to retain his position as a District Court Judge in a small Western town. They used to be partners, sharing their innermost thoughts as they worked together. When his work takes precedence over family, balance is lost, blurring the entire family s focus. Told with turns of sparkling wit and biting humor, In Search of Sushi Tora evaluates the purpose of marriage, and puts a spin on how we can survive the trials of everyday life. Author Emily Kemme was a co-author of The Greeley Philharmonic Orchestra: A Century of Musical Magic, 1911-2011, which won a Next Generation Indie Book Award for Regional Non-Fiction. In Search of Sushi Tora is her first novel and was named a Finalist for First Novel in the 2012 Next Generation Indie Book Awards. Her second novel Drinking The Knock Water: A New Age Pilgrimage was just released.

"We all live with ghosts. . . Some are those of people who've never been born." So begins Drinking the Knock Water: A New Age Pilgrimage, the second novel by award-winning Greeley, Colorado author Emily Kemme. Loosely based on Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, the novel takes on life itself as a pilgrimage. One of life's biggest struggles is fitting in with the rest of the human race, and an aspect of that is having children. It's not meant for everyone and yet, true to Darwinian forces, it's almost expected. Giving birth and then raising a child to maturity is one of the bravest tasks we take on. With the Fertility Tour only weeks away, a group of unlikely and disparate pilgrims look to fertility counselor Holly Thomas for guidance. But another cruel outburst from her sister-in-law on what was supposed to be a day to celebrate began a downward spiral of events that would leave Holly questioning every choice she'd ever made and every belief she held as truth. Holly's life has unraveled in ways she could not have imagined, including a restraining order against her. Will she be able to find her footing and make peace with her choices and herself? Had she done the right thing by her unborn child? Had she given enough, or too much, freedom of choice to her son? Did she truly, deeply know her husband and clinic partner, Roger? And what right had she to counsel infertile couples after her own pregnancies? Will visiting religious and sacred feminine sites in England help her regain control or only tear her further apart? Named a Finalist in Chick Lit by the 2017 Next Generation Indie Book Awards, this is a breathtaking novel about family drama and social criticism, written in the tradition of Jonathan Franzen, Anne Tyler and Jeffrey Eugenides. With searing honesty, Drinking the Knock Water takes readers on an emotional pilgrimage through the relationships that make us who we are.
