“Robin Alvarez crafts a particularly thought-provoking, eye-opening scenario of heritage, legacy, abuse, and the processes by which even a determined, savvy young woman becomes ensnared in the same emotional traps as women before her.” Midwest Review highly recommends When Oceans Rise which,“...operates on more than one level.”
When asked why Alvarez wrote about such heavy topics of abuse for a YA novel, she states,“I wrote this book because I wanted people, and especially young adults, to see the warning signs of gaslighting and abuse. Gaslighting in mental warfare, which is a slow stripping of one's power, and is often so subtle that victims do not see it happening to them until it is too late. I can't speak to everyone, but I want to give as many people as I can a voice.”
When Oceans Rise is available for order at barnes and noble , amazon , target , and several indie bookstores.
