Flying Point: One Writer’s Journey Into Solitude

by Susan D. Anderson

A middle-aged, burned out single woman  abandons her career as a college administrator and takes a desperate leap of faith into the writing life. She lands, unsteadily,  on a tiny island off the coast of Maine. The challenges of living alone on that edge of the wilderness reveal themselves day by day. Osprey, eiders, herons and gulls are the author’s primary companions. Tides and weather rule every aspect of her life. As she grapples with two years of solitude, the craft of writing and her quest to live an authentic life, a profound inner transformation is taking place. This is a story about striving and holding on by the slimmest of margins and believing in yourself. If you have ever dreamed about getting away from it all, this book will have you both grinning at the joys and recoiling at the realities of utter isolation.  If you are an aspiring writer this story provides an informative and comforting companion.
