This friendly, honest guide offers essential insights and practical support to help your independent home become a healthier, happier place.

Grounded in extensive research and supported throughout by the testimonies of Irish and UK females, Frances McVeigh disrupts our traditional and sometimes negative view of what it means to live alone and explores why and how millions of people successfully embrace a solo life today.

Written with clarity and sensitivity, this book charts the author's experience of personal growth and self-discovery, providing lessons learned, hints, tips, and a transformation drawn from deep personal and practical experience.
