Obscure Boundaries
Obscure Boundaries (OB), a tale of grief, sorrow and the power of rebounding hope, is the second novel featuring Dr. Naomi Alexander and tells the story of Jeff Winthrop, a successful artist who remarries after the death of his first wife.
Julia Winthrop has died, leaving her husband, Jeff, and their two children, Mallory and Todd, to carry on without her. When Jeff remarries, the Winthrops make a go at starting a new life with Ruth, but it isn’t easy.
In their sessions with Dr. Alexander, the Winthrops work through their family issues, and from her place in her yellow counsel chair, Naomi knows something is off between Ruth and the Winthrop children. She needs to get Jeff better, and sooner rather than later. But Naomi’s efforts have to deal with something beyond her purview: because Jeff believes Julia is still with them.

How Obscure Boundaries

This actually began with my attempt at writing a horror novel. I had all kinds of supernatural spooky stuff planned (I’m a fan of Stephen King), but in the end, as it most times happens (and many writers can attest to), the story took on a life of its own—and required a little assistance from Dr. Alexander…
