Title:Shelter from the Storm

Published by WordWright.biz, Inc., Alpine, TX

Women’s Fiction

Released December 2009, copyright 2010

Synopsis: Brittany Camp flees to a short-term shelter for battered women as the worst snow storm in 50 years hits Seattle. She uses the judicial system to fight for her family’s safety but finds herself only one step ahead of her volatile husband who is bent on killing her. This story focuses on courage and hope for a better life rather than the actual violence. Brittany’s journey shows the development of her emotions and personality as she learns how to face the fear and navigate the courts. Can she survive and save her children?  Will the authorities believe her? How can she win when her husband, Abel Camp, is so charismatic? What if she loses her children?

A work of fiction, it is based on my own experiences. Its purpose is not only to capture the reader with the suspense, but to help raise awareness about the plight of the thousands of women who are abused every day. It helps those who never experience the terror to understand the victims, and shows victims that there is a way out that does not include taking personal revenge on their abusers. The underlying message is overcoming life struggles and moving on with forgiveness rather than focused on revenge. 

Includes a group of questions at the back for discussion and evaluation of relationships and their risks.
