Here I am on the right, with Abby Carter, esteemed author of Alchemy of Loss, a brilliant book depicting Abby's loss of her husband Aaron Dack in the World Trade Center tradegy on September 11th, 2001 and her many victories in living through her pain, and that of her children. Somehow Abby adeptly weaves humor into the book such that it is not only readable, everyone I've given a copy to describes it as an absolute page turner, often reading it in one sitting, because of it's power and passion.
