1KHO 816: Trapped Inside Someone Else's Dream | Suzanne Heywood, Wavewalker


Listen Later

At seven years old, Suzanne Heywood left home for what was supposed to be a three-year sailing adventure around the world. She wouldn't return for ten years. In this extraordinary conversation, Suzanne joins Ginny Yurich to share the true story behind her bestselling memoir Wavewalker - a childhood spent crossing oceans, surviving shipwrecks, enduring hunger and isolation, and slowly realizing she was trapped inside someone else's dream. With no school, no stability, and few adults willing to step in, Suzanne became determined to educate herself as a way out. This is a story about resilience, grit, and the life-changing impact of ordinary people who show up at exactly the right moment. It's also a powerful reminder that children are not supporting characters in their parents' stories. This episode will entertain you and stay with you.
