Healing Your Aloneness: Finding Love and Wholeness Through Your Inner Child
Margaret Paul, Erika J. Chopich

HarperOne, 1990

Excellent Help
Most of us have been raised by parents who did not realize the damage they did to us in our formative years. This book allows us to see and repair that damage and therefore to treat ourselves as our parents should have treated us. I recommend this book highly.
  
  











  



  
The Pencil
Allan Ahlberg

Candlewick, 2008

Creative and fun
What a wonderful book! We checked this out from the library and have read it several times this week, at my 4 year old's request. We will be buying it for ourselves and our friends. This book opens up even a small child's imagination and makes them wonder what will ...
  
  











  



  
Loneliness as a Way of Life
Thomas Dumm

Harvard University Press, 2008

This book may surprise you.
Though it announces itself as a book about a depressing subject, LONELINESS AS A WAY OF LIFE is surprisingly uplifting Professor Thomas Dumm, who is best know for his academic political works, (including POLITICS OF THE ORDINARY and DEMOCRACY AND PUNISHMENT) does ...
  
  











  



  
Gingerbread Friends

Putnam Juvenile, 2008

Gingerbread Friends
My first graders loved Jan Brett's new book, Gingerbread Friends. It is a great sequel to Gingerbread Baby. A must buy to add to a Gingerbread book collection
  
  











  



  
Love Me Never Leave me: Discovering the Inseparable Bond That Our Hearts Crave
Marilyn Meberg

Thomas Nelson, 2008

Right On Target
I first saw M.M. in the lobby of the Hyatt in Columbus this year. I didn't know who she was- but my sister did. So, as any mature, 44 yr. old woman would do, she walked right up to her, tapped her on the shoulder and said "I know who you are",and walked away smiling. I ...
  
  











  



  
The Long Loneliness
Dorothy Day

HarperOne, 1997

A Classic Conversion Story
Catholic faith fascinates people. How did her spiritual life develop, and how did it influence the remainder of her life? Many wonderful authors, including but not limited to people such as William Miller, Robert Coles, and most recently Paul Elie, have written ...
  
  











  



  
Intimate Connections
David D. Burns

Signet, 1985

Awesome!
I found the book to be a practical and realistic remedy to the problem of successfully relating to members of the opposite sex and people in general. I would highly recommend this book for anyone who has suffered through degrading treatment from those they wished to ...

W. W. Norton, 2008

Shedding light on the pain that is loneliness...
From http://www.laurafreberg.com/blog I just finished reading Loneliness: Human Nature and the Need for Social Connection, which is coming out towards the end of August. The book summarizes, in very accessible terms, thirty years of work by John Cacioppo of the ...
  
  











  



  
An Angel For Solomon Singer
Cynthia Rylant

Scholastic, 1996

An Angel For Solomon Singer (by a 5 year-old reviewer)
I think it is one of the most perfect books ever. Since my mom bought it, well,I'm encouraged. Because I'm a student, I could have it for my schoolbook. If I could give it ten billion stars, I'd yell out, "Hey, Solomon Singer!" (Giggle!)
  
  











  



  
The Red Tree

Simply Read Books, 2003

Absolutely amazing story and pictures
The Red Tree is what every one of us forgets at times. I am sure this story happens to all, and this book explains wonderfully and simply that there will be hard times and we must keep on. I believe it is important for children to understand that. The illustration ...
  
  











  



  
The Well of Loneliness: A 1920s Classic of Lesbian Fiction
Radclyffe Hall

Anchor, 1990

extremely well written romantic tragedy
The first thing I noticed about Radclyffe Hall's "The Well of Loneliness," was the beautiful descriptive exposition. Before the novel delves too far into modernism, it is apparent that it is hedging out the Victorian. Descriptions of the English countryside, of London ...
  
  











  



  
Nobody Here but Me
Judith Viorst

Farrar, Straus and Giroux (BYR), 2008

It?s a little after four o?clock, and everyone?s busy. Mom?s on the phone, Dad?s checking e-mail, and Katie?s playing games with a friend. But there?s one other person in the house, and no matter what he does ? from painting a blue heart on the wall to turning the kitchen into a catastrophe (that?s a really big mess) ? none of his distracted ...
  
  











  



  
Descartes' Loneliness
Allen Grossman

New Directions, 2007

A new, breakthrough collection by "one of our most disturbing and humanly gifted poets" (Harold Bloom). Allen Grossman's newest work Descartes' Loneliness blends the comic and tragic. As the writer Ha Jin once wrote, it is "remarkable for the stout spirit of the speaker who dares to be funny while tackling such an austere subject as death." ...
  
  











  



  
On Love and Loneliness
Jiddu Krishnamurti

HarperOne, 1994

A Different Perspective of Reality!
Read this book only if you are really and truly interested in finding the path to freedom from emotional dependency. The great master makes you aware with his candid elocuence of all the emotional weigh and guilt that we needlessly carry through our short life span on ...
  
  











  



  
The Lonely Man of Faith
Joseph B. Soloveitchik

Three Leaves, 2006

Difficult but rewarding view of man and God.
Soloveitchik published only a few titles during his long life as the leading Orthodox rabbi of this century. This is the one new readers should start with. It is rather difficult, and for some a dictionary may be needed, but its rewards far surpass its difficulties. ...
