JUDY EMERSON Author and Personal Coach

When I focus on my disappointment

I forget to notice a brilliant smile.

Nursing a stubbed toe

I never see the shaft of golden light

Beaming through the cloud.

Or the flashing of a million leaves

Fluttering hello in the breeze.

If I stare at the uneven ground

Expecting to be tripped,

I will miss the love in your eyes.

-Judy Emerson

Have you had a chance to check out my novel? It’s called Sack of Wrongs, on Amazon. And if you’re inspired to write a review of the book, on Amazon, Goodreads, or anywhere else, I’d be honored.

His perfect life was ripped away years ago. Now his kid sister desperately needs rescue, while he’s coming apart at the seams. If he tells the truth, will everyone who matters be destroyed?

In Arizona in the early 1960s, Ben Keegan is stuck in a household that gives families a bad name. Those people represent everything he hates, and still he tries to honor the promises he made to the person who showed him what love meant. But the teenager is stunned when he’s beaten and thrown out on the street, broken and bloody.
Tortured by the suffering in his little sister’s face, Ben forces his battered body across town to the only source of help there is. But as someone twists Ben’s worst blunder to an awful purpose, his only path to do the right thing might hurt his sister more, and risk that the family who put him back together again would be ruined forever.
Can Ben overcome someone’s shadowy plot to subvert justice, and keep safe the people he’s come to love?
Sack of Wrongs is a riveting coming-of-age novel. If you like compelling characters, stunning reversals, and aching moral quandaries, then you’ll love Judy Emerson’s searing family drama.
