David Seaburn: Give Me Shelter

In Seaburn’s most recent novel, the dual challenges of the 1962 Cuban missile crisis and the unexplained loss of parents are the driving forces behind the lives of two boys and their grandfather.

Over time, intergenerational connections between family members and friends create the shelter the book’s characters need for their common journey. This is a story of human vulnerability, endurance, secrets, truth, loss, humor, resilience and love.
