Debra Fredette Publishes First Book, My Refuge: Finding Peace and Strength in Uncertainty

BOSTON - EntSun -- South Shore author Debra Fredette has published her first book, My Refuge: Finding Peace and Strength in Uncertainty, a story of her journey of fighting hate with love, advancing when you are afraid, and persevering when you are weary.

With corona virus, riots and unrest many people today are fearful of what tomorrow will bring. In a world of chaos and devastation how do people find serenity and security? In My Refuge: Finding Peace and Strength in Uncertainty Fredette shares how she dealt with similar circumstances and found peace and strength in a time of unrest.

In 2014 Fredette traveled to Uganda to help relieve the oppression of deaf children. The Ebola outbreak was rapidly spreading, ISIS was on the rise, and Boko Haram had just kidnapped 300 schoolgirls. A couple of weeks after Fredette landed at the Entebbe Airport the U.S. Embassy issued a high terror alert stating that American citizens should not go to any public of religious locations. As a white Christian woman living in a poor Muslim neighborhood Fredette stayed true to her mission.
