at the University of 
Michigan, she studied 
art and architecture. In 
recent years, she stopped 
working on architecture 
and focused on the book. 
She is the wife of an engi-
neer with two teenage 
children. 
In Massachusetts, they 
were enthusiastic members of 
Temple Shalom in Medford 
before participating with a 
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.”
