In "Shelter" Jung Yun tells us what goes on behind closed doors in the Cho family. Kyung Cho struggles to maintain his wife Gillian and young son Ethan. Just miles away his parents live in luxury with money to spare. Yet, Kyung does not want to approach them for help nor do they offer. In explaining this dynamic Jung Yun tells us the story of Kyung's childhood tortured by abuse.
One act of abuse puts all the members of the Cho family under one roof. Kyung is not able to take it and the consequences are disastrous. A powerful debut novel.
