Heather King (born 1952) is a writer, blogger and speaker. Raised on the coast of New Hampshire, she struggled with alcoholism—a period during which she made the ill-advised decision to attend law school—sobered up in 1987, quit her job as an attorney, and converted to Catholicism in 1996. She has written and recorded several slice-of-life commentaries for National Public Radio's All Things Considered and is the author of numerous essays and several memoirs. King is a graduate of the University of New Hampshire (1977) and Suffolk University Law School (1984, cum laude).
