About

Deborah Henderson

Deborah has always referred to herself as “A jack of all trades and a master of none.” She has worked in restaurants, bars, and department stores. She has cared for children and the elderly, worked in farming, construction, hairdressing, and drafting, and even operated her own florist shop. Her most rewarding job was raising two beautiful children. She enjoys painting, music, writing, nature, and outdoor adventures including hiking, kayaking, and the occasional rock climbing, parachuting, and scuba diving. Like many of you, she has lived a challenging life. Many traumatic experiences still weigh heavily on her soul, the most recent of which is the loss of her daughter and grandson. Deborah has also conquered personal challenges. As part of the Cancer Research Society Kilimanjaro Challenge, she raised $11,000 for cancer research. After five days of climbing, she summitted on October 28, 2013, a day she will never forget. She, like her protagonist Bobby, is a survivor who finds the strength to keep going. Deborah finds peace today living with her husband on Vancouver Island, Nanaimo, BC, surrounded by lakes, mountains, and the ocean.

Awards

Author Academy Award

THE “AUTHOR ACADEMY AWARD” IN THE THRILLER CATEGORY GOES TO…

“DEBORAH HENDERSON”
I still don’t believe it… A big thank you to my family, and all my old friends and new ones, for voting, sharing and supporting me…

“My speech to the judges”

It’s silent; You can’t see it and you can’t touch it; Look around you.
The person right next to you could be suffering silently; It’s called Mental Illness.
My book is about Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and a woman’s struggle to put the missing pieces of her life back together as they come to her in nightmares and flashbacks.

Her story is not mine but is similar in many ways. I know that roller-coaster of emotions… the loss, fear, and betrayal.
The nightmares still haunt me, but this feeling I get when I share my story with the world is extraordinary. It’s called freedom; That scared little child inside of me is stepping out of that security bubble she has been hiding in all these years and opening herself up to the world.

My healing journey has begun, and I’m confident that sharing my book and story, will bring hope and courage to others who suffer silently. We can all find the strength to heal if we dig down deep enough inside ourselves.
