Excerpt:

Her head swiveled, involuntarily checking out the dark head bent over the map. She knew that head. She sewed buttons on that particular blue shirt. Jason!  He was here. Megan froze in place as her eyes scouted for cover. A women’s restroom beckoned as sanctuary. As calmly as she could she walked across the floor, doing her best not to attract attention. She was very good at walking silently. 

In the bathroom, she collapsed against the wall, sliding down to sit on the floor. An elderly woman stepped out of the stall.

“Are you okay?” the woman asked, her concern evident.

“I’m okay, really. Just felt like sitting down,” Megan said as she waved the woman’s helping hands away.

She hoped there was no one else in the restroom. Maybe she was mistaken again. Opening the door a sliver, she peeked out in the direction she saw the man leaning over a map. The man straightened up and reached for a phone book on the table revealing his entire frowning face. It was definitely Jason. That was the expression she saw most of the time.  It was a good bet he was thinking about her. Unfortunately, she’d have to stay trapped in the women restroom until he left

The tile wall was cool against her back as she slid back down. Flipping open the book, she pretended to read while she pondered what to do.  The reference librarian stepped into the bathroom and looked at her askance.

“Um, it makes me feel at home since I usually read in the bathroom,” Megan explained.

“Whatever makes you comfortable,” the librarian replied.

She managed to struggle through the opening chapter as females of varying ages paraded through the facilities. Who knew the library bathroom was so popular? It had to be at least twenty minutes since she entered. It was time to look again. Cracking the door a narrow six inches, she peered out. The coast was clear. Pushing the door slowly open, she slid out with all the furtiveness of a jewel thief.

Review

Megan tried her best to be the perfect wife to Jason.  His controlling ways and abusive  behavior has come to an end, she knew she either needed to get out or he would end up killing her and her children.  

As Megan begins a new life, with  a new name to keep her ex away, she finds herself rebuilding not only the relationships she lost but herself.  With a chance at a new beginning, Jason is more determined than ever to keep others away, if he can't have her no one will.

Seeking Shelter walked you through every moment of Megan's journey from getting away from her husband.  I thought the way the author incorporated the children into the story was wonderful, they are resilient but at the same time are scarred from the past.  An inspirational story.

AUTHOR Bio and Links:

Morgan K Wyatt, raised on a steady diet of superheroes, believed she could fly at a very young age. After using trees, barn lofts, sliding boards, and even a second story window as launch pads, she found her flying skills were limited to fast and downward. By the age of nine, her dreams to be a superhero needed some modifications, which caused her to turn to writing and horseback riding as alternatives to flying.

At the age of twenty, she had another chance at superhero greatness as being one of the few female soldiers trained for combat. The fact that women will be able to serve in combat soon indicates that all the witnesses to the grenade incident have retired. The grenade incident didn’t prevent her two sons or daughter-in-law from enlisting in the service. Having different last names probably helped.

Morgan recently retired from teaching special needs students to write fulltime, instead of in the wee hours of the night. With the help of her helpful husband and loyal hound, she creates characters who often grab plot lines and run with them. As for flying, she prefers the airlines now.

Seeking Shelter is a courageous tale of Megan Moeller who flees her abusive husband to start a new life with her children. The only problem is her soon to be ex-husband is not a big fan of happy endings, especially for Megan. This powerful, heartrending tale is now available from Sweet Cravings Publishing.
