Emma Dilemma
Emmas dilemma
This is a book for young people, written as a diary.
Emma is 14 years old, and is trying to navigate between grief, having a crush, and girl drama. She has a friend who lies and cheats, and she is uncertain about what she wants out of life. She is greaving for her little sister who died suddenly at the age of 4. How can God or the universe let something like that happen – and why? Why?
