New Book Shows How Teenage Rebellion can Sweep Across an All-American City and Uproot Lives

Laurel-Rain Snow's An Accidental Life is a chilling reminder of how even the most innocuous teenage rebellion can dramatically alter, and often destroy, innocent lives

Friant, Calif. (PRWEB) November 19, 2006 -- In Laurel-Rain Snow's new book, An Accidental Life, four teenage girls locked in the dull, sun-baked climate of California's Central Valley turn their summer vacation into a foray into the world of drugs, alcohol and sex. The results are as dramatic as they are disturbing, as predictable as they are shocking.

As the girls quickly lose control, their lives spiral downward into circumstances never intended. When their mothers, from dramatically diverse social castes, attempt to save them, there is a collision of cultures and mores as diverse as the society in which they exist.

What sets this novel apart is the clear eye of an author who weaves into her story three decades of experience in social work. It is quickly apparent that An Accidental Life is more than the drama faced by four teenage girls, their mothers and the resolute staff of social workers determined to make a difference. The book is a study of how families in a very representative American community struggle to resolve problems that threaten to destroy lives and ultimately overwhelm long-held class distinctions.
