Abigail Olson’s life seemed to be falling apart. She was going through a tough time after her potential career and relationship fell through, on the exact same day (!), so she took a break from it all and started reading a lot. That down time led her to a book “Why Does He Do That” by Lundy Bancroft which helped her to realize some of the things she was experiencing in her relationship wasn’t the best thing for her.  Abigail began writing down her painful moments to help sort out her feelings about her relationship and career path, which eventually led to her book “The Hay-Wagon”.

“The Hay-Wagon” is a young woman’s memoir about getting her CDL and going through her first serious relationship. It is a Next Generation Indie Book Award finalist in the Women’s Issues

(Non-Fiction) and Short Story Collections categories. The book was included on the National Coalition of Girls’ Schools’ 2020-2021 Books of Interest list for grades 9-12.

In this interview, Abigail and I discuss the success of her book, what she learned in the process and what life looks like going forward. We talk about giving yourself permission to find a way to empower yourself, even if it’s unconventional, about perseverance,  and the importance of going after what is calling you in life.
