What the Trees Remembered

“… just magic with characters’ lives so rich I wanted to read on and on. Southern history we have NOT read.”—Lee Smith, New York Times best-selling author of The Last Girls

“Full of wisdom and beauty, this is the kind of deep, challenging, and propulsive story that sticks with you long after you finished reading it. Cutter tackles the thorny issues of a post Civil-War South with intelligence and generosity. The people and the geography come alive in her capable hands. This story speaks directly to our times and will leave you hopeful that we can in fact build a better world through education and empathy.”—Katrin Schumann, Washington Post best-selling author of The Forgotten Hours
Praise for The Last of What I Am:

“A riveting read, rich in historic detail and moral complexity.”—Geraldine Brooks, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of March

“A searing, brilliant, moving, and utterly original Civil War novel… . A stirring meditation on guilt and redemption.”—Lee Smith, New York Times best-selling author of The Last Girls

Abigail Cutter bases her novels on extensive historical research, but she isn’t a professional historian. She started out as an artist/printmaker with an MFA from George Washington University, teaching art and showing work in galleries. During a long stint at the National Endowment for the Humanities, she developed a deep love for American history. She also married a man who came with an 18th-century farm in the mountains of Virginia. Also the author of The Last of What I Am, Cutter currently lives with her family both at the farm and in the small historic town of Waterford, VA.
