Alone in America
The Search for Companionship
Description:... From Silicon Valley to Houston to the steel mills of Pennsylvania, from Manhattan's offices to Miami's retirement communities, Bernikow explored the manifestations of the "loneliness disease" in the lives of corporate executives, single people looking for mates, gay people, senior citizens and families that only seem to be together. In this provocative report on one of our most hidden and pressing problems, we see suffering, but we also see hope as some people learn, with each other's help. to build oases in what many describe as a "desert" of loneliness.
