Since its debut on YouTube, Tanya Davis’s beautiful and perceptive poem "How to Be Alone," visually realized by artist and filmmaker Andrea Dorfman, has become an international sensation. In this edition of How to Be Alone, they have adapted the poem and its compelling illustrations for the page in a beautiful, meditative volume—a keepsake to treasure and to share. From a solitary walk in the woods to sitting unaccompanied on a city park bench to eating a meal and even dancing alone, How to Be Alone, reveals the possibilities and joys waiting to be discovered when we engage in activities on our own. As she soothes the disquietude that accompanies the fear of aloneness, and celebrates the power of solitude to change how we see ourselves and the world, Tanya reveals how, removed from the noise and distractions of other lives, we can find acceptance and grace within. For those who have never been by themselves or those who embrace being on their own, How to Be Alone encourages us to recognize and embrace the possibilities of being alone—and reminds us of a universe of joy, peace, and discovery waiting to unfold.

Can this couple find a way forward that suits them both?

He is determined, however, to have the woman of his fantasies under the thrall of his hands, mouth and body.

Sir Peter Devon inherited a baronetcy, survived a war, was knighted and spent too much time fleecing London's naive rich. Gambling was—his mother often said—an immature way to spend the dark hours he spent awake, but he was unsuited to the normal life of a rich gentlemen. But Fate, in the form of friendly fire, trapped him anyway. In his attempt to rescue a young girl from a corrupt and immoral ex-officer, he found himself engaged and quickly married to the chit.

After a series of mishaps, the two women find themselves at the charming but failing Tall Trees Lake Camping and Caravan Park, where the family-owned park’s errant son, Dean Stinton, has just returned from overseas, into the middle of a battle for the park’s survival against its predatory neighbour, Tall Trees Premier, run by his jilted ex-lover, Kelly Coldwinter.

However, the promised glass palace turns out to be … well, less so, it rains endlessly, the village is a nightmare of oddball locals, and the man next-door is a chauvinist pig. Only as Natasha and Hannah begin to delve deeper do they start to understand just what it is they have found, and how Penkoe just might be a paradise after all…
