Mary Gauthier, singer-songwriter
In a Los Angeles Times story today by Randy Lewis singer-songwriter Mary Gauthier has some wonderful things to say about her past and why singing her story is not painful.
An adopted child, Gauthier didn’t have an interest in tracking down her biological mother until a therapist convinced her it might provide insight and closure.
That didn’t happen. But Gauthier continues to sing about her past. Lewis wonders if doing so only “pokes at old wounds.”
Gauthier says, “There’s no pain in telling the story for me. the pain was in living the story. But I survived, so telling it is liberating and healing.
