Social Worker's Novel Gives an Insider's Look at the Tragedy of Abuse

Embrace the Whirlwind by Laurel-Rain Snow is a gripping novel that follows one woman's struggle to triumph over crippling adversity.

Fresno, CA (PRWEB) April 22, 2007 -- Retired social worker Laurel-Rain Snow's stunning novel, Embrace the Whirlwind, explores troubled adolescence and addictive love. Powerful and provocative, this is an in-depth and triumphant story of how one woman overcomes the terrible odds stacked against her.

For over 30 years, Laurel-Rain Snow worked with troubled teenagers and dysfunctional families. Awarded a "Social Worker of the Year" award for her effectiveness and compassion, Snow now turns her expertise to a novel that is as shattering as it is hopeful.

Embrace the Whirlwind is the story of Amber Cushing, a young woman whose traumatic adolescence propels her into an addictive love relationship with a married attorney. Amber finds hope when she moves into a boarding house with a retired social worker who tries to help her. But will the social worker's own hidden demons ruin both women's chances of happiness?

As important as it is entertaining, Embrace the Whirlwind is a brilliant investigation of how, with the right help, even addicted or obsessed people can find satisfying human connections. Moving and realistic, this is a novel that will leave every reader wiser.
