title: Storm Warning: A Novel
author:  Wilma Wall 
description: 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? Wilma Wall was born in Shonghong, South China, to missionary parents. Later, she and her husband settled in California. They have three children. FICTION / Christian / Contemporary
