Mary Knight: The Power of Story, Journaling and Empathy

Author Mary Knight joins Grace, Grit & Hope to explore why storytelling is one of the most powerful forces we have to change the world. From her award‑winning novels Saving Wonder and What the Seahorse Told Me to her CoreEmpathy work and school visits across the country, Mary shows how words can open hearts, inspire courage, and help us see one another with deeper compassion. Mary also shares a deeply personal chapter of her life — a tragedy she faced in college — and how journaling became the lifeline that helped her survive it. Her story is a testament to how writing can heal, anchor us, and guide us through the darkest moments. Her journey, from Whidbey Island to Chautauquas events to classrooms nationwide, reminds us that empathy is essential — and that story is the bridge that carries us forward together.
