Simone Knox and her two best friends, Tish and Mi are at the DownEast mall to see a movie. In my opinion, “Shelter in Place” was another great read from Nora Roberts!! When I came across this novel, I read the description and immediately added it to the top of my list. It’s been a while since I’ve read a book from Nora Roberts. “Sometimes, there is nowhere safe to hide.” And as the survivors slowly heal, find shelter, and rebuild, they will discover that another conspirator is lying in wait-and this time, there might be nowhere safe to hide. Another would close herself off, trying to bury the memory of huddling in a ladies' room, hopelessly clutching her cell phone-until she finally found a way to pour her emotions into her art.īut one person wasn't satisfied with the shockingly high death toll at the DownEast Mall. In the years that followed, one would dedicate himself to a law enforcement career. But for those who lived through it, the effects would last forever.

The district previously banned 20 novels by Jodi Picoult and two by Toni Morrison. The Martin County ban didn’t just target Roberts’ novels, but also Judy Blume’s Forever…and Bernard Malamud’s The Fixer. But you don’t have the right to say nobody’s kid can read this book.” Roberts called the ban of her novels “shocking,” telling the Post, “If you don’t want your teenager reading this book, that’s your right as a mom-and good luck with that. The books were removed after objections by an activist from Moms for Liberty, a right-wing group behind several other book challenges, including a recent ban of a graphic adaptation of Anne Frank’s diary.
