Abigail Carter

Abigail Carter
Abigail Carter

Abigail Carter was an expat Canadian living in New Jersey with her husband and two young children, when her husband died in the attack on the twin towers on 9/11. Following the catastrophe, Abby moved to Seattle with her children and began writing to try to come to terms with what had happened to her family. That act opened another world to her and she wrote The Alchemy of Loss: A Young Widow's Transformation as a form of catharsis after her husband's death in the World Trade Center on September 11th, 2001. The Alchemy of Loss was chosen by The Globe and Mail as one of the 100 Most Notable Books of 2008 and was long-listed for the B.C. Award for Canadian Non-Fiction, Canada’s largest Non-Fiction prize. Abigail self-published a novel, Remember the Moon in 2014. Her work has also appeared in SELF magazine, Reader's Digest Canada, MSN.com, Huffington Post, and MORE.com and on her blog, abigailcarter.com. Abigail is now working on a novel about Camp Widow.
