Heather is a mom, a soldier, and a member of the Story Night Board of Directors. She shares the story of a childhood and adolescence marked by abuse and trauma. By the age of 18, she had dropped out of high school and found herself pregnant by her drug-dealer boyfriend, who had just been arrested. Determined to create a different future for her daughter, Heather got clean, left an abusive relationship, earned her GED, and joined the military. Her courage and perseverance transformed the trajectory of her life. Heather's warrior spirit shines throughout her story, reminding us that our past does not have to define our future—and that it's never too late to choose a new path.

Episode 62 - Leigha Hill - Part 1

Leigha's story takes us from California, where she was raised, to Georgia, where she met her husband, and finally to Oregon, where they dreamed of building their family. If you ask Leigha, "How many children do you have?" she will always answer, "Two," even though today you would only get to meet one of them. Leigha's son, Henry, was a micropremie, born weighing just 14 ounces. As days in the NICU turned into weeks, and weeks into months, Henry became known as the "comeback kid," defying the odds time and again whenever it seemed his family might lose him. In Part One of Leigha's story, we're reminded to celebrate every small victory and to keep believing in miracles.
