Book Details

The story is a work of fiction describing the life of these five main characters; Grady, Noel, Jayson, Mark, and Angel. From high school up to the fast-paced bumpy ride of adult-hood, these individuals experience different stages in their relationships; namely, love triangles, greed, lust, love, heartbreak, deception, desire, loyalty, envy, hate, and even sacrifice. Taking place in the urban City of Maff and the Island of Jamaica, we see how their environment shaped each character separately. Young and misguided in this modern generation where secular codes of conduct and vainly created street philosophies, rule their thoughts and behaviors. As the four friends grow, decisions are made that changed not only their friendship and other links but their lives in general. As suspense increases through the novel, Cold Embrace shows a great example of how youths and adults alike trap themselves by impulsive actions with the intent to escape from their created hole, not realizing that they are unconsciously digging a deeper one. The story contains a myriad of life lessons for readers of all ages and backgrounds. Parents and grandparents will be reminded of their own childhoods, or the struggles they faced while rearing their own children. Teenagers will acquire a better understanding of why it is so important to stay true not only to them selves but to each other, and that the reward of such dedication is of a greater magnitude than that of any payment a traitor could ever receive. Cold Embrace also demonstrates how greed and the love of money will inevitably lead a pleasant life to ruin.
