Description

Written in a spirited first-person voice, SNOW JOB tells the story of a Boston-area mother & her children who choose to survive the hell of substance abuse in the family--only to find an even greater hell & danger awaiting them in the U.S. legal system. This nonfiction novel describes THE ACTUAL LEGAL, SPIRITUAL, & FINANCIAL CONSEQUENCES that befall family members as they strive to move forward & rebuild their lives. In contrast to most books on substance abuse, SNOW JOB takes readers into lawyers' offices, judges' chambers, bank mortgage departments, & medical settings where conversation is not a matter of public record. Elements of this story will ring true with anyone whose life has been touched by divorce, substance abuse, domestic violence in all its forms (physical, emotional, financial) & a legal system that devalues the important job of nurturing the next generation.
