Finally, one night Melony made a split second decision to run for her life with her two small children. Melony drives hours and hours until she is far enough away to stop for a minute to think. She finds a battered women's shelter a few hours away and goes there to seek help to hide from her abusive husband. When Melony arrives she was greeted by Deanna a social worker who helps Melony with a new identity, housing and a job. Melony was finally safe and hidden forever, or so she thought.
