The three basic human needs are food, water...and shelter. But in
the late 21st century, compassion is a crime. You can get your
memories wiped just for trying to help.
Papa Preston Walford's world doesn't allow for coincidences.
Accidents. Secrets in the backs of closets. Or the needs of his own
daughter.
Meredith Preston has reason to seek shelter. She needs protection
from the monsters in her mind, in her history, in her family. And
the great storms of a changing climate have made literal shelter
imperative.
When a cutting-edge, high-tech house, designed by a genius with a
unique connection to Meredith, overcomes its programming to give
shelter to a homeless man in a storm, from its closets emerge the
revelations of a past too painful to remember.
In the world of Susan Palwick's "Shelter," perception is about to
meet reality, and reality has mud all over it. The truth won't make
you happy, but it may just make you whole.
