“Loneliness can be a taboo concept to discuss. Yet, it's such a common human experience. Charlotte Donlon has created a beautiful and layered offering for readers to examine the various ways loneliness reveals itself.
She skillfully invites each of us to honor loneliness while also remembering that--paradoxically--it also unites us.”
—Aundi Kolber

Possessed of a humane eye and an artful pen, Charlotte Donlon has created an achingly beautiful book. Her words will reach places in your soul you didn’t know existed and open parts of your heart you didn’t know had been long closed.
This isn’t just a book about loneliness. It’s a book about being human.
—Karen Swallow Prior

"Wow! I am so grateful for this book. Charlotte writes with deep insight and genuine courage about an experience that is often too shameful or debilitating to put into words. In doing so, she covers her twin subjects of isolation and alienation
in ways that help the reader not only get through them but hold them and learn from them graciously.
Somehow both timely and timeless--highly recommended."
