Loneliness: Human Nature and the Need for Social Connection

The Girls from Ames: A Story of Women and a Forty-Year Friendship
This book tells a compelling story about the lifelong friendships of 11 women, who sustain their bonds across the distances that divide them, divorce, illness, and all the inconceivable obstacles life throws their way. In an era when people conflate time with friends with hours spent on Facebook with "friends," we get accounts of how women can use social media to enhance their relationships, not replace them.

The Vanishing Neighbor; The Transformation of American Community
One hot August day just weeks before my book was published, Marc and I were in steamy Washington DC for a live NPR interview, which is where we learned that our books had a common theme: how weak social bonds are as critical as our tight relationships in preserving healthy individuals and a healthy society. Marc's book makes a powerful case that without conversations and relationships with people from different backgrounds and political leanings, we can't function as a civil society.
