Sam Wilson is being stalked...by a dead man!
A Canadian wife & mother, Sam leads a life most women would envy--a personal maid, a big house with beautiful grounds that include a pond where two lovely white swans live out an idyllic life. Here, apparent happiness is marred by not only a husband who ignores her opinions & her needs, but by a ghost from her past. Samantha Wilson is a woman surrounded by luxury...& danger!
Associate Reviewer Kate Holmes writes:
With no idea who to trust, Sam leans on the strength of her best friend, Margot, as well as her doctor, Paul Boucher, whose unrequited love of the wealthy & beautiful Sam gives him the courage to take on not only a ghost from her past, but Sam's controlling husband, who the good doctor is sure is up to no good.
Damien is the mysterious ghost, a memory that Sam has worked diligently to erase from her life & mind. However, it seems that Damien has different ideas, which leads Sam to question her own sanity.
The boomerang effect is evident, not only in the fascinating twists & turns of this story's plot, but in Sam's ability, with help of those who love her, to bounce back from the edge of a terrifying abyss.
Lue Christian, whose maternal roots are Canadian, has returned there for her first novel. Boomerang has just enough suspense & drama to keep the pages turning to its inevitable conclusion.
Lue Christian is also the author of Cycling Across America which chronicles the trip she & her husband took from Fresno, California to Quebec City, the setting for Boomerang.

Reviewer's Bio
She is a Canadian wife, mother, grandmother, & avid reader. She has hungered for knowledge her whole life which has led her to haunt her local library & used book stores, looking for “old friends.” She has several bookshelves over which presides a print of Amergin, an ancient wizard from Celtic myth.
A welcome addition to her study, Della, her computer (named for its maker), has become a large part of her world. For some time Kate Holmes reviewed for another ezine, & as a means of giving herself a more varied reading experience, has joined RebeccasReads as a Associate Reviewer.
