About this ebook
As a hurricane tears through Alabama, Jessie takes refuge in an underground bunker with ten children who have already learned how dangerous the world can be. The shelves hold food and water. The door holds back the storm. For one night, they have somewhere to stay.
But the supplies were meant for two people, the power is failing, and an injured boy needs care. An Army veteran carrying grief and an old thirst he cannot easily silence, Jessie knows how to count rations. He is far less certain how to earn the trust of children who have survived without him.
With the world outside in ruins, staying alive will take more than a locked door. It will take work, trust, and the courage to keep a promise when walking away would be easier.
The Price of Shelter continues A. R. Shaw's The Broken Line series, following Jessie's Last Signal. A story of survival, responsibility, and the fragile beginnings of a found family.
