Truly an engaging story that will warm your heart with all its twists and turns and down to earth characters.When I picked this up, I was hoping to find an engaging story that I could read for pleasure. This is just what I found. And it was also a page turner that I had a hard time putting down.
Shelter Me is definitely Janie's story of the year following the accidental biking death of her young husband. During the year following his death, Janie struggles with life and love...all the while surrounded by her two very young children, her family, neighbors and a pretty typical support system of wonderful characters. In is in that context that we are drawn into her story.
What I appreciated the most was that Janie could be anyone we know and while she faces many rough struggles, she and the story remain what I want to call "real" and believable.
The book was way better than I anticipated and I loved all the characters!
