Lisa Hutchison was born in Berlin, Germany during WWII. When one year old her family was displaced during a bombing raid and thus began a very long journey for many years for all of them.
Eventually her parents decided to immigrate to Canada to give their children a better life. She was twelve years old when the family settled in Toronto.
Having earned her B. Comm she worked in different areas in finance, insurance and banking as well as in several hospitals. In 1971 she married her first husband, a Hungarian professional trumpet player, whose sudden death in 1980 prompted her to write her first published book, Pieces of Us.
As time passed, Lisa met her future husband Robert, a clergy, and they were married in 1985.
They have three children, six grandchildren and live a wonderful life in Stratford, Ontario. Both enjoy travelling and spend many weeks each year in Portugal.
It was on one of those vacations that the story of the extraordinary lives of her parents took root and Iron Annie and a Long Journey was born.
