Twenty-five-year-old Hannah Harper, a stay-at-home mother from Willow Springs, Missouri, moved American Idol judges to tears with her original song “String Cheese,” inspired by her struggle with postpartum depression.
She shared how her young son’s request to “open my cheese” became a turning point, helping her embrace motherhood as a form of ministry.
