Follow on Amazon →Abigail Alder has been a caregiver for 28 years. A nurse by training. A kind soul by nature. She spent decades sitting with people at the hardest moments of their lives — in cancer wards, in recovery rooms, in grief.
She knows what it actually feels like to sit across from someone who is scared, or in pain, or just trying to hold it together. That knowledge shapes every prompt she writes. Every Abigail Alder journal is built the way good care is given: with structure, with warmth, and without talking down to the person who needs it.
She publishes under the Abigail Alder imprint through Diehl House Books LLC, an independent press on the west coast of Florida.
