Heather Hutchison is the author of Holding On by Letting
Go: A Memoir, and an award-winning singer/songwriter with three albums released
to date. Blind since birth and having struggled with mental illness from a
young age, she is passionate about educating people on disability and mental
health through her music and writing. An avid traveler, Heather has spent time
living and teaching English in Latin America.
During her interview, she shares how anyone can rise above prejudice and disabilities. You will love her story.
This memoir spans decades and continents to tell a story of the beautiful similarities that make us all human. From meeting unlikely allies in the dirty streets of some of Latin America’s most impoverished neighborhoods to discovering difficult truths about discrimination in her home country of Canada, Heather Hutchison offers poignant insight into mental health awareness, and what it means to strive for an ordinary life when you are often treated as anything but ordinary.
Heartbreakingly honest and strikingly witty, Holding On by Letting Go is the unforgettable true story of one woman’s journey from despair to acceptance and hope. Ultimately, it is a portrayal of the light that can be found in the darkest of times.
