Hidden somewhere in the peaceful beauty and splendor of Munds Park is a refuge for women and children escaping violence. They are terrified. Fearful of being beaten again, emotionally traumatized--again, stalked--again, or worse--dying at the hands of their husband or boyfriend--victims find a safe haven here. An organization founded to help break the cycle of abuse, Protective Mother's Justice, Inc. offers shelter to the wounded and a brighter future to those hiding behind its locked doors. The odds are overwhelming that abused women will return to their abusers because they see no other way out. But here, there is hope. Besides offering a warm bed, hot meals, diapers, and clean clothes, Protective Mothers Justice provides coaching, counselling, education, job resources, and encouragement to its guests to prepare the moms and children for a fresh start. Memories and scars will remain, but as they depart, victims will be better equipped. Armed with wisdom, greater self confidence, and determination to survive, they will cling to their newfound hope, strength, and God's love.
