Do you find yourself wishing you did this or that but can’t get past the wishing stage? Maybe you always wanted to travel, or learn a new language, or go to school? In her debut publication Own Your Fears, the author tells us exactly how she experienced those feelings. What starts as a memoir about a hiking trip through the mountains of Patagonia quickly evolves into an introspective narrative of her evolution from an introverted geek to a resilient, independent, powerful heroine.
In Own Your Fears Debora takes us around the globe, from her childhood in Peru to hikes in the Himalayas and the Andes, while describing the challenges she faced as an out lesbian. With candid honesty and touching vulnerability, she exposes underlying biases that are still prevalent, and how she emerged triumphant with determination and a new sense of self. She leads us through the challenges about hiking in the mountains while being afraid of heights and concludes with an honest revelation about being true to herself, keeping laser-focus goals and not getting distracted by negative talk.
