Empower a Refugee: Peace of Thread & the Backyard Humanity Movement - Softcover
Book 2 of 3: Bridge Between Cultures
Synopsis
Refugees from the Middle East and Asia who have fled famine and violence and resettled in the US too often are isolated, disconnected, living in despair. Will their lives disintegrate? Enter a group of ordinary Americans who recognized the need, created a solution, got results and found their own lives uplifted in the process. Author Patricia Martin Holt reports on Peace of Thread, a non-profit founded by Denise Smith, who lived near Atlanta and had previously learned Arabic during six years of mission work in Lebanon. Smith befriended refugee women and built on the fabric skills that many women brought with them. Now the women are creating handbags and accessories and selling them on ESTY and in several specialty shops. They have new confidence, feel more at home, and are finding purpose in their lives. Patricia Martin Holt demonstrates that good-hearted people can overcome the national climate of fear and bigotry toward refugees. It turns out that we can work for world peace simply by lending a hand to those in need in the same cities, counties, and neighborhoods where we live.

About the Author
Patricia Martin Holt was awarded first prize in investigative journalism by the Chanticleer International Book Awards Competition.
She was also named a finalist for Georgia Author of the Year and awarded an Independent Publishers Association Bronze Medal for her first book, Committee of One, an account of a fabric project in Amman Jordan involving Palestinian refugees.
In Jordan, Holt got to know refugees and saw how they could blossom in the right conditions. Later, after moving to a Georgia suburb, Holt was drawn to the community of Clarkston, a local hub of refugee resettlement.
In Empower a Refugee, we hear the voices of refugee women in Clarkston and learn about Denise Smith, a woman whose faith compels her to help these women gain vital income and self-esteem by sewing and selling one-of-a-kind handbags.
