Penny Hodgson

Penny’s books are deeply rooted in her resilience forged through adversity. Growing up in the Saskatchewan prairies of Canada, Penny courageously faced her childhood shaped by both a congenital deformity and the weight of generational trauma. These experiences have sculpted a unique voice in literature, one that speaks to the strength found in overcoming.
Penny explores the complexities of human identity, the journey toward self-discovery, and the healing power of God’s grace. Her work delves into the shadows of personal and ancestral pain, offering light through tales of transformation and hope.
Penny’s entry into the world of writing was influenced by A Course in Miracles, leading to their first published piece, Mind Files, Perception, Perspective & Problems, which was celebrated for its raw authenticity and emotional depth. This work not only marked Penny’s literary debut but also became a beacon for others navigating through their own traumatic histories. Her latest work, Aces High: An Autobiography, unflinchingly explores the raw details of her traumatic past, drawing powerful connections between the health outcomes outlined in the renowned Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) study and her own personal struggles.
