This book fills that gap. Backed by her original study and filled with compelling case histories, Secunda's book explores what happens to men and women when they are on their own in ways they have never been before. She addresses myriad issues, including:

- How does it reshape one's sense of self?

Her work has also been published in Harper's Bazaar, Glamour, and Women's Day. She is a Connecticut resident.
