Shelters Louis Fontenot Jr.

Shelters, follows one woman?s quest to confront her past, embrace her present, and believe in her future.

Katie Fairfield Calhoun is not a well-liked woman. She is smart, ruthless, materialistic, and seemingly driven by nothing more than her own will to conquer. As she strives to succeed in business, her husband seeks political power, often through dealings with the very politicos Katie has made her own bedside arrangements with. When a brush with the law forces Katie to give back to the community, she reluctantly finds a friend who teaches her to confront her past?a childhood marred by rape and deep emotional distress.

This inspiring and informed novel reveals an important, oft-overlooked fact: that the very forces that seek to destroy us are the means by which we are ultimately healed.

Shelters is a surprising, suspenseful book that will alter its readers? perceptions about misery, memory, and meaning. Its plot is page-turning, its message life-changing.
