In His Wife's Name. Joyce Sullivan

Samantha and Shannon at home. Instead, Shannon mailed them to a post-office box belonging to an acquaintance of her mother’s—a bridge partner—who kept them in her home, no questions asked, so her mother could see them at her weekly bridge games. Shannon never included a return address, and the acquaintance had no idea of Shannon’s new identity. She and Samantha were safe here.

      Still, tonight’s phone call disturbed Shannon.

      Enough to keep her awake into the early hours of the morning.
