No Grave for Grace
In No Grave for Grace, Junior Obrand (VP of International Programs at Feed My Starving Children) takes readers on an extraordinary journey from the mud-slicked roads of Gris-Gris, a remote Haitian village of poverty and prayer, to the pulsing heart of global humanitarian work that stretches across nations, regions, and continents. Born into a family of ten in a village with no running water or electricity, Junior was raised by parents who planted seeds of hope in soil hardened by hunger, storms, and scarcity.
This memoir is both a love letter to the faith that carried him and a gripping survival tale marked by attempted kidnappings, gang violence, and brushes with death. Yet through it all, Junior rose—not just to escape, but to uplift.
Today, his work brings him back into a world he knows all too well, driven by a purpose forged in the fire of adversity and anchored by his mother's unwavering belief: "The waves may be high, but our boat is secure."
Told with breathtaking honesty and lyrical grace, Junior's story is a living testament to resilience, the enduring strength of family, and the miracles that meet us when we dare to believe. If you've ever doubted the power of one life to change many, this book will shake you to the core. Prepare to be challenged and changed.
