From the moment I opened the book I felt in the midst of the mysterious and exotic world of India. Ms. Lindsay’s rich descriptions will dazzle your senses. When Abby Fraser arrives by ship with her young son, Cam, you already feel her anticipation of the difficulties that await her. The contrasts that confront her on the dock, the splendor of colors washed in bright, hot light; the smell of dung mixed with sweet spice; the jostling crowd, match the complexity of her emotions as she searches for the husband she hasn’t seen in four years, Cam’s father. As we get to know Geoff Richards, a British officer who befriends Abby and Cam on the voyage, the rich and detailed history and culture of India is woven through a story of commitment, love and intrigue. SHADOWED IN SILK is available now on Kindle, but this is one book I will purchase when it comes out in September in trade paperback. The cover is gorgeous and it is one I will want to hold in my hands. It will certainly have a place on Becky’s Bookshelf!

Thank you, Cathy, Nike, and Elaine for your wonderful encouragement. We writers cannot survive without each other.
SHADOWED IN SILK was one of the most lush novels I’ve ever had the pleasure of reading. It truly transported me back in time while still inspiring me during today’s trying times.

I aposolupely LOVED this book. I don’t have enough superlatives to praise it.
I was so excited to read this book as I’ve been following Christine’s journey to publication for some time. It was everything I imagined it to be and more. What a wonderful debut novel. I hope everyone reads it!
Thank you, Becky, what an honor. I’m just glad you liked Shadowed in Silk. Like I’ve said before it’s a bit scary to let people actually read your ‘baby’. I can’t wait for the day when I hold your debut novel in my hands. That day will come. Wait for it.
