Shelter Me by Juliette Fay (Book Review and Giveaway!)

I recently received a copy of the book Shelter Me by Juliette Fay. It was, by far, the best non-fiction book I've read in a long time.

Mike gives me no end of grief about my reading selections and often hounds me that I need to find more "fun" books. We always read before going to sleep at night but my selections are usually books like Toddler 411 and Mothering Multiples. Needless to say, Mike was thrilled to see a novel in my hands. At least he was until he read the quote at the top of the front cover...

"A gorgeous paradox of a book: a deep, thoughtful exploration of a young mother's first year of widowhood that is as much as page-turner as any thriller." - Marisa De Los Santos, New York Times bestselling author of Belong to Me.

De Los Santos quote was met with Mike saying, "Do you really need to read this?" He knows that one of my biggest fears is having something happen to him and doesn't enjoy books (or anything else for that matter) that exacerbates my already anxious mind with more worries.

But honestly, this is just the type of "fun" book I love to read. I was quickly and easily able to connect with the main character, Janie, and her struggles as a widow with two young children. I enjoy books that allow me to empathize and relate to the characters and this book quickly drew me in and captured my attention. I devoured the book in under a week, which given my crazy schedule these days is no small feat!
