"After a difficult childhood, Kim has built a successful life for herself, but she'd leave it all if it meant being rid of the guilt she harbors over a tragic mistake she made years ago. When she meets Rick, she finds everything she needs - including a way to pay for her sins every time he hits her. Kim and Rick's new neighbor, Joshua, knows more than Kim realizes about Rick's abusive behavior, but Joshua has battles of his own to fight. Soon to intersect Kim's and Rick's lives is Debbie, who has saved countless women from abuse through the shelter she runs but might be as desperate for love as the women she serves. Meanwhile, as Rick's wrath extends to their baby, Kim must decide if her penance is more important than protecting that innocent life - and if she should dare leave Rick when he has the power to bring her hidden crime to light. A gripping, gritty novel, *The Weight of Shadows* explores how the risks we take for those we love can touch the lives of others forever. "

    Gripping and realistic read

    Everyone has secrets, but for Kim, her secret may cost her - her very life!\\r\\n\\r\\nRaised in foster homes, Kim has never known the stability of family, so when she meets Rick she thinks her chance has finally come. And when he begins abusing her, she accepts it as penance for the crime she committed as a teenager. \\r\\n\\r\\nJoshua is struggling - not only with the loss of his wife and raising his daughter alone, but also with the huge debt of medical bills, and his in-laws who seem intent on gaining custody. So when Joshua is forced to move to a smaller apartment he can't help but overhear the abuse that goes on through the paper thin walls. He wants to help Kim, but both of them are scared - scared of what it will cost them. \\r\\n\\r\\nDebbie has a secret of her own. Tirelessly running the Safe In His Arms women's shelter, no-one but her and God understands why she works so hard. Guilt-ridden over the death of her sister years ago - she has her own penance to pay - which she does in servitude to abused women, and by neglecting her own personal life and dreams. \\r\\n\\r\\nThree people, each afraid, each wounded, are brought together in such a way that will affect their lives and change them forever. \\r\\n \\r\\nThe Weight of Shadows is a gripping and realistic read. The individual personality of each character and what drives them is clearly shown through the first person narrative. Although painful in places, everyone who reads this book will not put it down…
