PLEASANTVILLE – Celeste Fernandez said she is learning to find peace in the middle of the storms she faces in life and hopes her recently published book will help others do the same.

 

The owner of the multifaceted Fernandez Services in Pleasantville wrote her first book, "In The Storm: Understanding the Storms In Our Lives," which is out in e-book form on Amazon and will be available later this month in hardcover.

 

Fernandez's life story is already an inspiration.
