Allison Gilbert is the author of Passed and Present: Keeping Memories of Loved Ones Alive and co-author of Listen, World!: How the Intrepid Elsie Robinson Became America’s Most-Read Woman. Listen, World! is the first biography of Robinson, a single mother who survives the death of her only son and becomes the most-read woman in the country and highest-paid woman writer in the William Randolph Hearst media empire. Allison writes: “By writing this book, I’ve come to realize that biography can help the bereaved feel just as connected and understood as any self-help book or memoir. Biography is an underutilized resource that fuels healing.” Allison Gilbert proudly serves on the Advisory Board for the Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors and is a past Board Member for the National Alliance for Children’s Grief.
