Copyright 2017 Andrea Hamilton Music Produced by Kevin Penner and Andrea Hamilton Mixed by Kevin Penner Mastered by Dale Becker at Becker Mastering www.HopefulAndrea.com Hope and Struggle is an album about embracing a difficult life. Living with joy in this world means entering into a war against every circumstance that tries to steal it; but it’s worth the fight. We are constantly recalibrating - reminding ourselves what’s actually important. Refocusing from the frustrations to the victories. And in that battle, we grow into the resilient, unbeatable people we're meant to be.
