Angela Lacy McClintockAngela 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, sothat 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.
