But help is on the way. Sara Geber has given remarkable guidance in her book Solo Aging. You may be solo, but you're not alone. Don't wait to read the book." ―Harry R. Moody, Ph.D., retired Vice President for Academic Affairs, AARP "While most older people are not lonely, Gerontologists know that those without children are at greater risk for loneliness and isolation. Dr. Sara Geber's practical, readable guide, based on solid scientific research, is a much-needed planning resource for "solo agers" and the Gerontologists who work with them." ―Donna E.
