Book excerpt: What does the voice of a domestic violence (DV) victim and survivor sound like? In Shelter, Leslie Williams uses creativity, suspense and sensitivity for a story about DV; a subject shrouded with humiliation, pain and shame but opens its convoluted face with a universal theme of self-discovery for everybody. What makes Shelter so novel - is the story telling style from the main character, Linda Wellington as she describes her circumstances with intimate partner violence. Understandably, the subject about abuse and violence is sensitive; therefore, the voice of a victim and survivor is respected as their interpretation. Amazingly, Linda Wellington gets the perfect plan that works after many failed attempts to escape from her captor. How does Linda escape with a plan from herself? She is a well-trained DV victim and finds out that what you need for true self-efficacy is a whole lot more than just being a Survivor. What is a Thriver?
