"Smart, funny, hip, and always honest. Single is the ultimate companion. Judy Ford is wise and once again, truly wonderful." --Ame Beanland, author of It's a Chick Thing. "Imagine a woman in love with her own life. A woman satisfied, fulfilled, and independent. Judy Ford reminds us that everything we need and want is right here, right now. Through her words we fall in love, again, with our own messy, ordinary, sacred lives. We don't feel so alone after reading Judy's book." Patricia Lynn Reilly, author of Imagine a Woman in Love with Herself and I Promise Myself. "Offers true wisdom, practical advice and laughs too. What more could a person ask for in one book? Every single person should run out and get this." --MJ Ryan, author of Attitudes of Gratitude and The Power of Patience "At last! A kind and funny book for uppity women who revel in the single life—and for those who fear it. In Singles, Judy Ford reveals the bright side of the singles coin, and shows others how to live it with grace, style, and joy. In today's society, where all of us stand a good chance of being single, married, and divorced in our lifetimes, Ford's advice fills a real need. As she says, "Being single is often the best choice. It's as natural as being together, and you'll probably have a go-around at both." Three cheers for this frank guide to the art of single independence." --Vicki Leon, author of the Uppity Women in History series "Single is about upholding the most enduring relationship of all; the one we have with ourselves. Yes! When you know yourself you are never lonely, even when alone. Read and learn how to relate to your true self and not the one your parents and other authorities made you think you were."--Bernie Siegel, MD, author of 365 Prescriptions For The Soul and Help Me To Heal "Uplifting nugget for those who are single." --Dr. Gerald Jampolsky "Being single is not a condition to be cured"-especially when the remedy possibly means riding a marry-and-divorce roller-coaster just to avoid loneliness-says author and psychotherapist Ford (Wonderful Ways series; Between Mother and Daughter, Getting over Getting Mad). Instead, singles (this book is ostensibly written for all, but may resonate more with women) should reject the lonely and pathetic stereotypes this status usually carries and embrace life's most lasting relationship-the one with themselves. While some may dismiss this advice as a desperate mantra, Ford skillfully uses her own story and others' anecdotes to show that it's possible to be single and content. As a once happily married young woman, a sudden widow at age 29, then a miserably remarried woman, and finally an abandoned divorcée with a baby and an immense debt, Ford knows how precarious it is to put her happiness in the hands of another. In amusing lessons divided among six sections, she counsels readers on how to marshal their singleness to confront whatever adversities they may be forced endure. This fundamental wisdom should not be lost on couples either; after all, everyone must tread solo sometimes. Ford's playful poking at her own past misadventures in love and denial (like when she went solo to a movie and ordered drinks and popcorn for two) will endear her to struggling singles and inspire many to rejoice in life's singular potential. --Editorial Reviews, From Publishers Weekly |
