"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.
