• The overwhelming majority of fiction buyers are women interested in stories about mothers and family, and women’s friendships. • Mothers with children in the U.S. are more educated than ever before. In 2012, nearly 370,000 U.S. married stay-at-home mothers (with working husbands) had at least a master’s degree. Shelter Us appeals to this large sector of stay-at-home mothers who have college and graduate degrees and purchase books. (Pew Research Study 2011, 2013) • Organizations for bereaved parents, such as Compassionate Friends and griefHaven, serve more than half a million people annually through their websites, and touch tens of thousands of grieving parents, grandparents and siblings in bereavement groups across the country. Shelter Us appeals to millions of bereaved parents, grandparents, and adult siblings, by honoring their experience. • Shelter Us examines themes of Jewish identity and assimilation, which are vigorously promoted to active book purchasers through the Jewish Book Council, including through its website, book reviews, book recommendations, and a network author tour that reaches more than 100 organizations nationally. • Shelter Us captures the enormous public interest in solving the human tragedy of homelessness, as demonstrated by the millions of public and private dollars going to solve homelessness, as well as the local and national media covering the crisis on a daily basis. • Sarah’s grandmother Bibi, a central character in Shelter Us, represents the flux of vulnerable women and children immigrants from Central America, a topic of huge discussion in the United States, and especially Los Angeles. In 2014, the L.A. Times has devoted several articles to the issue, including an editorial on a new national immigration policy that allows Guatemalan victims of domestic violence to seek asylum on that basis.
