Music offered her a window to a world where others felt the way she did. Songs became lifelines to her, and she longed to write her own, one day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThen, for a decade, while struggling with addiction, Gauthier put her dream away and her call to songwriting faded. It wasn't until she got sober and went to an open mic with a friend that she realised she not only still wanted to write songs, she needed to. Today, Gauthier is a decorated musical artist, with numerous awards and recognition for her songwriting, including a Grammy nomination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eSaved by a Song\u003c\/em\u003e, Mary Gauthier pulls the curtain back on the artistry of songwriting.
