SHELTER ME intertwines the tribulations of young versus old, love
verses dependency, good losses versus bad when two women are thrown
into a friendship by events beyond their control. They teach each other
to empower their own lives, leave the past behind and embrace their
own new future.
This novel explores polar-opposite traumas: widowhood, and spousal
abuse - topics often explored singularly. Here the author tells of her
characters' pain and grief and how they help each other onto the road to a
stable life.
Shelter Me should be required reading for all professionals who
work with victims of domestic violence and their families. It will serve
as an inspiration to those who suffer from such violence as well.
