Three out of five people say nobody truly knows them. The U.S. Surgeon General declared loneliness an epidemic. It kills as many people as smoking fifteen cigarettes a day. And the loneliest people in the world are not the ones who are alone. They are the ones who are surrounded.
This book is not about the loneliness of an empty room. It is about the loneliness of a full dinner table where nobody asks a real question. The loneliness of a marriage where you share a bed but not a single honest word. The loneliness of waking up to how the world really works and having no one who sees what you see.
If you have ever smiled through a conversation while something inside you screamed, this was written for you.
