Storm Warning

by Wilma Wall

Is this the escape she's been looking for? Velita Stanford can't remember a time she didn't fear her husband's explosive temper. She tries so hard, but some days, nothing she does is right. So when she's summoned for jury duty, Velita dreads what her husband might do if his abuse is revealed. As the case gets underway, Velita begins to see life outside of her husband's shadow. Still sick with worry, she befriends two jury members who show her a kindness--and the God--she has long forgotten. This could be her chance to change her life, but every step Velita takes is weighted by her husband's oppressive presence. As she tries to balance her role as a juror with the terror she finds in every situation, can Velita overcome her fears and trust those who offer help? Or will the darkness of her life continue to consume her?

Compelling story

Wilma Wall's writing and story telling skills combine to make a compelling novel. Velita's story will resonate with many women; her struggles to appease her husband's wrath, to shield her children are very believable. When Velita glimpses life outside her homemade prison she makes friends in contradiction of Ralph's orders. Then she discovers someone new in her life: herself. Storm Warning is Wilma Wall at her finest.

Storm Warning by Wilma Wall

I could not put this book down...it is a compelling story that should be read by all women who are living in an abusive relationship. It makes those of us who have loving relationships very, very thankful.
