Book: For Emma

---

This week on Salt Lake Dirt, I’m thrilled to welcome author Ewan Morrison to discuss his new novel, For Emma, set to release on June 17th. This haunting narrative follows Josh, a father grappling with the loss of his daughter Emma, who tragically died during a brain chip experiment. As he spirals into grief, Josh begins to hear Emma's voice guiding him towards a path of revenge against those he holds responsible for her death.

Ewan dives deep into the complexities of parental grief, the moral ambiguities of revenge, and the chilling implications of modern technology. He shares the inspiration behind the story, rooted in his own experiences with loss and the haunting presence of loved ones after they are gone. Through Josh's recordings to Emma, we explore the intimate connection between a father and daughter, as well as the darker themes of mental health and societal pressures.

Join us as we unpack the emotional weight of Ewan's writing, the philosophical questions raised by Emma's insatiable curiosity, and the broader implications of AI in our lives. This conversation is sure to resonate with anyone who has grappled with loss, identity, and the quest for understanding in a rapidly changing world.

Thanks for tuning in!
