What People are Saying About This

Bridgette M. Redman

"Fantastic, engaging book. Emmy's Question is one of those refreshing books that never lets the importance of its message sacrifice the skill at which the story is told. Yes, it's cliche to say that I couldn't put it down, but it truly was a compelling read told in an authentically emotional and intense voice--and one that held my interest until the final page. I often approach this type of book with a generous dose of skepticism. It's a difficult subject to tackle effectively while still being an interesting read. Emmy's Question succeeds at both."--(Bridgette M. Redman, Publisher, Book Help Web)

Jerry Moe

"The powerful story of a young girl's struggle with parental alcoholism and the caring adults in her life who made a real difference. A must read for children of all ages."--(Jerry Moe, National Director of Children's Services, Betty Ford Center)
