Seeking Shelter: "A touching, sensitive story of one girl's journey through loss and grief."
-Barbara Haworth-Attard,Theories of Relativity 

"Seeking Shelter spoke to me.  I cried at the end, and I am not sure that I was crying for Marcie or if I was crying for me, for my own feelings of loss and yet also those strong feelings of hope.  Marcie found renewal and hope in her trip to Montreal.  While she did not close the door on her past she learned to embrace it and move on.   Who doesn't want to learn that lesson?  The book to me is a story of life and loss, of memories and hope. "
-Terri L. Lyons- Teaching Librarian and Reader's Advisor
