Elizabeth Turner
Elizabeth Turner on finding hope after losing her husband and father of her unborn child

Elizabeth Turner was seven months pregnant when her husband Simon was killed in the World Trade Center attacks. He was in New York on a business trip, and even as Elizabeth watched the events unfold on television from her London office, she had no idea how catastrophically her life was about to change. She joins Jenni to describe how the birth of their son weeks later brought mixed feelings of despair and joy, but ultimately gave her the strength to turn her life around.
The Blue Skies of Autumn’, by Elizabeth Turner, is published by Simon and Schuster, ISBN: 978-1-84737-627-5
