Chabad organization for this
season’s holidays.
“Writing about my
childhood brought peace,”
Lembersky said. “
After 40
years, I no longer had to
carry the weight of those
memories alone. To my sur-
prise, I found good, sweet
and funny memories I didn’t
realize were there.”
Like a Drop of Ink in a
Downpour is registered with
the Jewish Book Council, and
Lembersky will have speaking
engagements through the
organization in California,
Maryland, Virginia and
Connecticut as well as in
Canada. A speaking engage-
ment in the United Kingdom
also is planned.
“My new book was just
selected by the Women’s
National Book Association
for the 2022 Great Group
Reads list,” Lembersky said.
“I’m humbled and grateful.
It’s a gift to me.”
