Publisher's Synopsis
Over a lifetime, author Jennifer Ott wrote about and related to characters who walked different paths of loneliness and solitude. Soon the truth of her life dawned on her. She was living in lonerdom, a condition she describes as a loner's self-built kingdom far away from the stresses of modern life. It is a place where many retreat. Using her own life, and her fictional stories as examples, Jennifer Ott weaves together a holistic perspective of loneliness, including the wisdom of philosophers, scientists, and psychologists, but most importantly the support of family, friends, guides and teachers. Secrets of a Recovering Loner is a book meant to motivate and inspire those who have fallen into the well of loneliness and discover the courage and the path back to the social world.
