The Love House

By Patricia M. Goins

Melissa Moore, Katrina Young, Barbra Hamilton, and Tabitha Stevenson all have one thing in common; they're all running away from abusive men, and currently reside at The Love House, a domestic violence shelter for battered women. Life at The Love House isn’t always easy as these four women from different walks of life learn to live together under the same roof.
Karen Smith, The Love House manager, soon realizes she has her work set out for her. Not only does she have to deal with all the different personalities at the Love House, but she also has to manage her unruly sixteen year old daughter Linda Marie, who continues to be defiant, her oldest daughter Kacess'ion who Karen has just discovered is bisexual, and her marriage which is starting to show signs of trouble. Karen strives to help the women of The Love House evolve from victims to survivors, while trying to maintain her own home. Unfortunately, she soon learns that no matter how hard she tries, it’s impossible to save everyone.
