Shelter Me brings together two women in crisis: a recently widowed executive's wife seeking employment for the first time, and a young battered wife who becomes the supervisor at the widow's first job. Shelter Me links their stories and creates a friendship that teaches each to take charge of their own lives and look toward their future. The story intertwines the tribulations of young versus old, love verses dependency, and good losses verses bad when two women are thrown together into a friendship by events beyond their control. Over time, they teach each other to empower their own lives, leaving the past behind and embrace their own future.
