Exclusive: Hear a new song by KelleyMcRae, inspired by marygauthier_'s memoir 'Saved by a Song,' on the latest episode of Ben Arthur's (MyHeart) 'SongWriter' podcast (SnogWriter):
never expected to know who her birth mother was. She was given up for adoption as an infant, at a time when orphanages tried to intentionally and irrevocably sever connections between parent and child. But Gauthier found a person who specialized in reconnecting adopted children with their birth parents, and soon she had her birth mother’s phone number.
Gauthier had few expectations, but she was still surprised to hear that her birth mother did not want to meet her. Her birth mother had gone on to have a family, and had never told her husband or her children about the baby she had surrendered to the orphanage all those years ago. Yet over time Gauthier has been able to transform her sadness and hurt into empathy, and she attributes that transformation to grace. She writes eloquently about that process in her memoir,“I think it is grace—if you can empathize with people who hurt you, and understand that they weren’t doing it to you; they were just doing it,” she says. “It wasn’t personal. Hell, she doesn’t even know me!”is a longtime fan of Gauthier, not just of her songwriting, but of her philosophy on life and art.
