notes

Singer/songwriter, author and speaker, Donna Hill, a former Philadelphia area resident now living in the Endless Mountains of Pennsylvania, offers educational and entertaining programs for all ages. Legally blind from birth from Retinitis Pigmentosa and a two-time cancer survivor, Donna has a message of tenacity, perseverance and hope. Casual and upbeat, Donna intrigues audiences at house concerts, teen book discussions about Harry Potter (with songs) or school assemblies about her guide dog, Hunter, a black Lab.
Donna is featured regularly as a performer at the Old Lynn Concert Series in Susquehanna County, which has been presenting national and international singer/songwriters to packed houses since 2000. She is also an active member of the Folk Lore Society of Northeastern Pennsylvania. In the First Biennial Convention on Women in Northeastern Pennsylvania held at the University of Scranton in 2007, she presented, “Blind Women in Northeastern Pennsylvania: What we’re up to and what we’re up against.” This speech, which has appeared in several area newspapers, has opened a dialog on issues facing blind people in modern American life.
Donna is working on her first children’s novel and companion CD, and marketing articles about guide dogs, blindness, cancer, Harry Potter and her love of nature,.
Donna, who has a degree in English Literature from East Stroudsburg University of PA, was a volunteer radio show producer for ten years for the Radio Information Center for the Blind in Philadelphia. She received national press credentials to cover the Carter inauguration – a first for blind representatives of radio reading services.

    This CD is one of my favorites. "Edge of the line" gets me moving and "Rules of the Game" puts life into perspective. "Ten Years Time" makes you look within. "Love is Love" brings the meaning to its core. All the song are upliftng and moving. "The Two of You" reminds me of my own wedding and wonderful memories it brings back. Excellent quality of music. Very uplifting and motivational. Loved it!
