Beyond All This

Thirty Years with the mountain people of Haiti

How, as a fifty-nine year-old woman, Bertha "Granny" Holdeman cast her lot with the mountain people of Haiti and suffered through drought and flood, hurricane and want, to help them find a better way. This compelling saga spans more than three decades to chronicle hurt and leanness, struggle and triumph. The mission Granny helped found at Fermathe in Haiti began on a plot blighted by voodoo curse. Today it ministers to countless people, providing help and hope.
