About the Book
No one can hide from their past forever …
Emily Archer has been promoted to a top position at the advertising agency where she works, but her successful life starts falling apart when she is forced to take time off for slapping an important client who groped her at his company’s event. She begins working with a psychotherapist who specializes in a treatment called EMDR to understand the anger and frustration that have been building up inside of her and causing flashbacks that jolt her awake in the night. Emily peels back the layers of her memory and reveals a devastating childhood trauma she’d buried deep in her subconscious.
Realizing the person who betrayed her trust may be targeting others, she sets out to prevent him from harming anyone else. But does Emily have the courage and tenacity to take down a well-known celebrity? And can she stop him before he comes after her?
Her Past Can’t Wait is a gripping novel of suspense about resilient women fighting back, protecting each other, and healing.
About the Author
Jacqueline Boulden has been a storyteller for as long as she can remember. She’s wanted to write a novel ever since she stayed up all night in high school to because she couldn’t sleep until she read the ending of Theodore Dreiser’s An American Tragedy. The reality of earning a living and a love of news sent her off to Utica University where she received a B.A. in journalism and public relations. Then she made several career moves around the country covering politics in Washington, D.C., NASA and the space shuttle program in Florida, and fighting the wind for control of her hats during live shots in hurricanes and blizzards while working in Orlando and Philadelphia.
Following her Emmy-winning career in TV news, she worked as a writer and producer of educational, corporate, and documentary videos—adding several Telly awards to her name. Throughout the years she had ideas for many novels and even began writing a few of them, but never got to the end. Until now.
Jacqueline lives in upstate New York with her spouse and their rescue dog, who’s teaching them how to speak Beaglish.
