The Awful Truth about Emily Ruth

Lucas Griffin has come to Port Gamble for one purpose. To get the Griffin family summer home out of the clutches of his evil ex-wife, Emily Ruth Griffin.

But before he can blink twice, she drops dead in the local grocery market. Now he's stuck with her ghost, and her little dog, too.

Not-So Dearly Departed

Lila Abbott has had her fill of rich summer people who crowd Port Gamble every year. Townie girls and summer boys just don't mix, and she's learned that the hard way.

But Lucas Griffin has a ghost problem that only Lila can solve, and she finds herself knee-deep in Cheez Whiz while Lucas and the deceased Emily Ruth duke it out.

Working together to clear his name and get rid of their pesky poltergeist, Lucas and Lila find themselves falling in love. Maybe this will finally be the FOREVER summer for Lila Abbott.

The Forever Summer- A Perfect Ten- Review

Lila and Lucas's unlikely romance bounces down a potholed road of experience, preconceptions, and the dilemmas of their present situation. After all, a summer boy left Lila pregnant at sixteen and never looked back, and Lucas's experience with local girl Emily Ruth has already been mentioned. What's great about THE FOREVER SUMMER is that the mix works. The characters are intriguing. The murder mystery is fascinating. Emily Ruth's post-death appearances are both scary and funny. Lila and Lucas are just right for each other and, while their bodies speak to each other, they remain blind to the fact. Add the witty dialogue, both spoken and thought, and author Suzanne Macpherson has written a wonderful story that deserves a Perfect 10.
