Hilary Young Ritter, Author Trusting Gus

Hilary Young is the author of Trusting Gus, a raw and inspiring memoir about resilience, addiction recovery, and the presence of a higher power she calls the "Great Universal Spirit" (Gus). Raised by an abusive, bipolar alcoholic, Hilary navigated a turbulent childhood, battled addiction, and ultimately found sobriety later in life. A near-death experience from liver failure at 58 motivated her to share her story, revealing the moments of grace that shaped her journey. Readers connect deeply with Trusting Gus, responding with their own stories of trauma, supernatural encounters, and personal awakenings. Hilary’s writing is heartfelt and unfiltered, aiming to inspire without preaching. She self-published her memoir to show that healing and transformation are always possible. Beyond writing, she works as a hairstylist, engaging in meaningful conversations with clients. She currently lives in California, where she continues to share her story of hope, survival, and spiritual discovery.

Hilary is a natural story teller who effectively uses scene, setting, and dialogue to tell a compelling and evocative story in Trusting Gus.

Join us as we have an honest, open, and vulnerable conversation about recovery, spirtuality, finding clarity, and so much more.
