Safe Beginnings

After arson in a battered women's shelter causes the death of a resident, Counselor Kaye Berreano continues working with the women after they move to a Red Cross shelter. Arson investigator Pete Farrell has no shortage of suspects - several residents, their husbands/abusers, and Kaye's almost-ex-husband. The mystery is flavored with experiences of the women of the safe house and the hint of a beginning of a romance, making the story more interesting and informative.

Safe Beginnings by Christine Duncan entertains, intrigues, and educates.
