Nate Bennett

Nate is a professor in the business school at Georgia State University. He lost his wife, Shannon, after what was to be a routine outpatient surgery. A blog that was started to keep friends and family informed about Shannon during her hospitalization turned in to his source of support after her death. The blog is now a book titled Shannon's Gift: A Story of Love, Loss, and Recovery. Reviews include: “Not since Joan Didion’s bestseller 'The Year of Magical Thinking' has a true story of great love and loss been told with this level of intimacy.” — Robert Hicks, New York Times Bestselling author of The Widow of the South and A Separate Country.
