Shelter Me
by Juliette Fay“A gorgeous paradox of a book: a deep, thoughtful exploration of a mother’s first year of widowhood that is as much a page turner as any thriller.” Maris de los Santos, New York Times bestselling author of Belongs to MeFour months after her husband's death, Janie LaMarche remains undone by grief and anger. Her mourning is disrupted, however, by the unexpected arrival of a builder with a contract to add a porch onto her house. Stunned, Janie realizes the porch was meant to be a surprise from her husband—now his last gift to her.As she reluctantly allows construction to begin, Janie clings to the familiar outposts of her sorrow—mothering her two small children with fierce protectiveness, avoiding friends and family, and stewing in a rage she can't release. Yet Janie's self-imposed isolation is breached by a cast of unlikely interventionists: her chattering, ipecac-toting aunt; her bossy, over-manicured neighbor; her muffin-bearing cousin; and even Tug, the contractor with a private grief all his own.As the porch takes shape, Janie discovers that the unknowable terrain of the future is best navigated with the help of others—even those we least expect to call on, much less learn to love.“Tinged with searing insight and often hilarious wry humor.” —The Boston Globe“A widow embarks on a year of transformation in Fay’s wise and inspirational debut. . . . The concerns of single motherhood after sudden tragedy come vividly to life, and as Janie learns to appreciate everyday miracles, readers will be charmed.” —Publishers Weekly
