Jayne Anne Phillips describes
Shelter as "a book I have wanted to write for fifteen years. The
opening paragraph, which forms a sort of prefacing image, is set apart
from the narrative because it existed for so many years before the novel
was written. I think I wrote Shelter in order to understand that
paragraph."
