A memoir of murder, betrayal, and the courage to forgive without return.
Bereavement shatters Abigail’s world when her parents are murdered in South Africa, exposing the generational trauma she carried long before she had words for it. Yet the deepest cut comes later, when silence replaces family and abandonment arrives from those she once trusted. As an immigrant navigating life across continents, she begins to see how dislocation, identity and belonging shape the wounds she has spent years trying to outrun.
In Honey from the Carcass, Abigail traces what grief uncovers, what childhood patterns reveal, and how faith offers a lens on suffering that psychology alone cannot hold. Through scripture, prayer and the hard work of inner understanding, she learns that forgiveness does not always lead to reconciliation.
Crossing borders and spiritual thresholds, Abigail discovers how to gather sweetness from devastation and to build a future no longer governed by her past. A memoir of murder, migration and the quiet power of choosing healing on your own terms.
