Elizabeth Wilson: Lonely Girl, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Blurb

"In crystal-clear prose, Lonely Girl reveals how we can rewire the patterns that keep us alone-and rewrite our lives rooted in love."

- Jennifer Leigh Selig, author of Deep Memoir

Forensic scientist Elizabeth finally has it all: the wife, the baby, the deep friendships, and the clear

path to the promotion of her dreams. Her found family buoys her through early motherhood and a

global pandemic, until her world fractures and she's suddenly left with nothing but her wife and

daughter, and a desperate need to start over.

A cross-country move and a flooded RV later, the mountains of Colorado force Elizabeth to learn

her value, demand her worth, and confront her deep loneliness. After years of effort, she can no

longer deny the cracks in her marriage and is forced to face the question: if she's not a wife and not

a scientist, who is she? Elizabeth meets many who assist on her path of self-discovery, but one

person in particular forces her to question what she believes about love, relationships, and her

sexuality.

This is a story about feeling chronically lonely in every room, even when surrounded by others, and

doing a deep self-exploration, finding self-love, worthiness, and a sense of belonging no external

circumstance can shake. Journey with Elizabeth through the raw emotionality of abortion, sexual

assault, sobriety, and divorce, and find healing in the most unexpected of love stories.
