Depression: Chronic depression is another major reason behind low libido. levitra canada check out for source These are some of the causes india pharmacy viagra of male disorder, Erectile Dysfunction with safe, modern, effective and reliable cheap Kamagra. There was a significant connection between chiropractic therapy and the resolution of infertility problems. robertrobb.com cialis 5 mg Megan becomes Elaine. She changes her appearance along with her name to escape her vengeful spouse. With the help of new friends at the women’s shelter, she pieces together the broken shards of her life. Megan finds the strength to trust and love again when she meets soft-spoken Kevin. He supports Megan’s transformation from abused wife to confident woman. Life is full of potential with her new place, love and career, but Jason looms like a dark cloud. Unfortunately, Jason is not a big fan of happy endings, especially hers.
With one of the most powerful first lines I’ve read (“Dear God, would you please kill my daddy? Amen”), Seeking Shelter pulls no punches as it shows how one woman, Megan, grows from a down-trodden, abused wife to a confident, secure woman.
Seeking Shelter isn’t at its heart a romance (though there is the relationship she eventually develops with Kevin, she doesn’t even meet him until nearly one hundred pages into the story); it’s a suspense novel with the bones of women’s fiction.
The strength of the story is in its characters. We meet a crew of folks who are so incredibly developed, unique and interesting, they’ll keep you reading even when the plot hits a bump. The bumps are very small, and the story is thoroughly interesting. The children broke my heart at the beginning, but it was lifted as I watched them change and grow with the kind of resilience only the very young seem to have. Megan struggles to overcome her fear… and who could blame her? She was all but held prisoner by her husband and abused verbally and physically. We’re meant to hate Jason, and we do.
Kevin was exactly what our heroine needed. Soft-spoken, calm, a little bit unsure, he’s the complete antithesis of Jason. Don’t think he’s weak, however. We find out just how strong he is before the last page.
I’ve not read anything by this author before, and despite my few issues with some of the plot points (and the ease with which the ends are tied) I was truly amazed at her skill with words and character building. I’d not hesitate to pick up another book by Ms. Wyatt, and really did enjoy this one.
It is a very powerful first line. Got to love that.

Hi Rita,
It had been a nice tour. The Goddess Fish ladies know their business. Thanks for following.
Wow, talk about pulling no punches, indeed! This sounds like a very powerful read, and I’m particularly interested because my sister-in-law recently went through a very similar situation with her ex-husband. Thank you for writing.
Hello Clara,
I started out the tour at the Domestic Violence Blog , not part of the Goddess tours, to point out this happened to me. I just changed a few details to call it fiction. The story allows people to understand how a woman could get in such a situation. Thanks for commenting.
Great review!
Sounds like a really good read!!

I enjoyed this book.
Hi Teena,
I enjoyed your review too. <3
What a thoughtful review. I usually try to avoid “women’s fiction” during the summer. I like more “fluff” and fun, contemporary romps in the summer. For some reason, I wait to read heavier, more dramatic fare in the Fall and Winter. It seems like a better season to tackle Seeking Shelter.

Good Morning Catherine,
Often I want fluff too. It is rather like food cravings. I will admit to having two fluffy books coming out next. Weighty one in the wings. 🙂 Thanks for commenting.
That’s an interesting first line

Hi BN,
I did try to combine the elements of fear, religion, and family. Thanks for commenting.
