The Boomerang House is a true story of strength and resilience. What began as a builder’s experimental dream house in an isolated section of heavily forested woods became a house that entered one woman’s life and simply would not leave. Nanci Vineyard looks back on her incredible adventure in the heart of the Adirondack Mountains, dealing with drug-addicted squatters, a gnarly legal system, and an uphill climb to perform construction rehab alone. Hers is a story that, at times, seems utterly unbelievable but is told with such attention to detail and an enormous sense of humor that it challenges the reader to accept it as true. More than just a personal story, Vineyard brings the wider world into her own experience, along with a colorful cast of characters who accompany Vineyard on her journey.

A lovely tale of one woman’s perseverance, grit, personal growth and humor through events that unfolded over more than two decades that can truly be classified as “stranger than fiction.”

The Boomerang House was an enticing, can’t put it down true story of a woman who managed to triumph over adversity. It was very inspiring and humorous at the same time.
