| Summary |
More adults than ever before are now living alone--one quarter of all households in Australia are currently single-person households. They are forging new ways of having contented and connected lives. One gives insight to the once maligned and now increasingly chosen status of being single. It is an inspiring call to politicians, business leaders and individuals, challenging us all to recognise the worth and standing of One. |
