Where God Begins to Be

A Woman's Journey into Solitude

By: Karen Fredette

“In her inspiring, vividly composed and always faithful book” (Susan Muto), Karen Fredette describes a world where life is rich in being rather than in having. Selected as a Catholic Book of the Month, Where God Begins to Be fulfills Murray Bodo’s observation that “instead of myth fabricated from a few fragments, we have here the details—the nitty-gritty, muddy details—of a hermit’s daily living.” Karen is a “Seer who brings you along with her, joyfully” (Richard Rohr). “In deftly drawn vignettes, Karper’s story, told with simplicity and gentle honesty, is one of faith deepening, beauty awakening, and love discovered” (Gerald May).

Clare: Her Light and Her Song

By: Karen Fredette

Clare: Her Light and Her Song is a vivid portrait of a strong woman who scandalizes family and friends to follow her beloved mentor, Francis of Assisi, in a life of joyous poverty. Thoroughly researched, this biography faithfully depicts Clare as seen by her contemporaries, including cardinals and popes. Her story is enriched by accounts of the wars, political intrigues, and towering figures of the tumultuous thirteenth century in which she played a significant role. The first woman to receive Papal approval for her own Rule of Life, Clare continues as a model for women of the twenty-first century.

Where God Is Ever Found; From Cloister to Couple, a Woman's Autumn Journey

By: Karen Karper Fredette

Hermits are a rare breed. Married hermits are about as common as spotted owls. Marry a Roman Catholic priest to a former nun, nest them in a mountainside hermitage named Still Wood, and you may have a brand new species. This memoir is a three-way love saga - God, a priest and a nun joined to minister to hermits world-wide and to the mentally disabled in the isolated mountain county of "Bloody" Madison, North Carolina. Each chapter weaves together incidents from four periods of my life - seventeen years in a middle-class Catholic home; thirty spiritually challenging years as a cloistered nun; six transformative years as a hermit, and sixteen loving years as a wife. My earlier book, "Where God Begins to Be, A Woman's Journey into Solitude" has created a crowd of curious readers asking "Why would you?" and "How could you?" marry a priest and continue your commitment to eremitical life? Answering this unforeseen Call has colored my autumn years with excitement, love and challenge.
