A Life Remembered
“Elegant, sharp-witted, and endlessly generous — she made every room warmer.”
Helen Carter was an editor, a hostess, and the quiet center of a large and devoted family. Born in Boston, she read everything, remembered everyone's story, and had an unerring instinct for the right word and the right moment. She loved long letters, the ocean in winter, and her grandchildren above all. She leaves behind a family that adored her and a shelf of books she made better.
