One is Not Half of Two

By Susan Lee

At fifty-two, Claire Bennett finds herself facing a life that looks nothing like the one she once imagined. Her children are building lives of their own, relationships have changed, money is tight, and the quiet in her house leaves her wondering who she is when no one needs her quite the way they once did.

As Claire begins swimming, making new friendships, rediscovering creativity, and learning to experience life on her own terms, she slowly questions something she has believed for years: that being alone means something is missing.

One Is Not Half of Two is a warm, honest novel about motherhood, aging, family, regret, independence, and the unexpected freedom of discovering that a life doesn't have to be shared to be whole.
