The first three chapters discuss stories about dating, being happily single and finding a partner. I found the chapter about being happily single most useful to me as the topic reminded me of how peaceful it can be to observe things on your own without being distracted by others. I guess it is the notion that when you are on your own you can be more mindful of your surroundings and find a deep sense of happiness within yourself. This often comes to part when one travels on their own or explores nature.
The next three chapters discuss returning to single hood, single parenting and making a difference. I enjoyed reading about single parenting as gave light to the idea that a family arrangement that goes against the traditional lines can still be effective.
The last three chapters discuss stories about loneliness, losing a partner and friends and family. I enjoyed reading the section about friends and family as it made me aware of the fact that being single allows you the opportunity to connect with your friends in special way. One such story in the reminded me of this..

"Nobody trips on mountains. It is the small pebbles that cause you to stumble. Pass all the pebbles in your path and you will find you have crossed the mountain"
