Has your heart has ever been broken due to pain and unresolved issues of your past? I know mine surely has. Honestly, it's been torn apart far more times than I can count. Author Freda Camille takes her readers through a quest of being a hopeful romantic, as she experiences the ups and downs of love in poetry book To Have and To Hold. Accomplished Author, Writer, and Poet Freda Camille from Delaware and New Jersey, beautifully pens her life testimony through lyrics and verse in her poetry book The Storms Caused My Faith. This work was self-published in 2004. In collaboration with coauthors of Things I Wish He Knew, Freda becomes transparent and vividly reveals a traumatic event that took place in her life that could have ultimately prevented the maturation of the amazing and successful woman she has become. Freda Camille has been writing for over 28 years. Freda works as a Licensed Practical Nurse in a pediatrician's office, and is a Youth Leader at New Destiny Fellowship Church, Wilmington, Delaware. She has mentored young ladies in her community, and has spoken at treatment facilities in PA, NJ, and youth programs in DE. She used these moments to become transparent and share her testimony about the various adversities she has overcome in her life such as: molestation, teenage pregnancy, depression, and was her mother's care taker due to mental illness. These are just a few examples of what she experienced in her childhood that almost broke her; however, were the very things that became her strength and caused her to become so passionate about working with young people. Her desire is to encourage those who have endured the sting or stigma of the pain she has. The writings in each of her books provide a safe environment allowing the reader to connect, identify, and work through experiences which were suppressed. She wants you to know and see that you can get through it, you can heal, and things will get better.
