Table for One

Written for anyone left alone by a separation, a divorce, or the death of a partner, this book explores what it is like to be a sensitive single person in a world organized around couples.

The text is made up of short journal entries in which the author works through common struggles such as low self-worth, reluctance to take emotional chances, isolation, feelings of inadequacy, melancholy, and the question of whether to commit again. He records the hard periods he lived through and the gradual progress he made toward personal growth and a calm acceptance of his circumstances.

From these reflections emerges a practical outlook for sensitive people who find themselves on their own, whether through divorce, separation, or bereavement. The personal discoveries that helped him grow are offered to other singles who may find them useful.
