It’s Halloween 2019 in Mobile, Alabama. Jennifer Riley, CPS supervisor and her team, face a nightmare line-up of child abuse cases. A young boy, imprisoned by his mother, in the family basement, fights for his very life. A baby girl, whose parents are drug addicts, is on life support from a traumatic brain injury. Despite the signs and natural assumptions that could lead the team to the perpetrators, the investigators discovered that the truth is never that simple. The team must navigate the “who” and “why” of these cases, with guidance from Jennifer. But when a ghost from her past reappears, Jennifer is shaken to her very core. One of her former foster children, who had survived the system, is murdered. What follows challenges her beliefs. Will her own self-doubt derail the team? A romance is the last thing she wants. But maybe, it is just what she needs.

Angela Lacy McClintock, MSW, LICSW dedicated 30 years of her life to a career in child welfare, working alongside other social workers to protect the safety, permanency and wellbeing of children. In 2021, she opened Willow Tree Family Counselling, so that she could provide therapy to children, youth, and adults who were past victims of trauma. Her time in child welfare brought an acute awareness of how secondary trauma could affect social workers, even drive them away from the field. In 2017, Angela began publishing a blog of encouragement and hope for social workers: www.waterforcamels.com. The Boy in the Basement is her first novel. She is currently working on a sequel as well as a book version of her popular blog.

Review By

Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews 

First, I want to thank Angela Lacy McClintock and Austin Macauley Publishers for providing me with this book so I may bring you this book.

Just in time for Halloween Angela Lacy McClintock brings you a dark, twisted, fascinating, shocking, and heartbreaking read The Boy In The Basement! Even with this short, fast paced, and addicting read there are some very important topics that are addressed. 

Chris was so brave and strong through all that he went through and saw. My heart just broke for him! Nobody should ever be put in that position! 

In the beginning of the book Angela Lacy McClintock educates her readers.
