Are you an only child? Or do you know someone who is? Jill Pitkeatley and David Emerson spent years exploring the shared traits of adults raised without siblings. Through sixty detailed interviews, they discovered a surprising consistency: a difficulty sharing, heightened self-expectations, an intense sense of responsibility, and a powerful need for personal space and distance. This book isn’t just a collection of stories—it’s a survival guide. It explains how these qualities affect love, friendship, and work, and offers a clear path to harmony for the “only ones.”
This is essential reading for parents raising a single child, as well as for friends, colleagues, and partners of only children. The topics spark discussion and will appeal to a wide audience—from teachers and employers to professional psychologists and therapists. Whether you want to understand yourself better or improve your relationship with an only child, this book provides the insight you need.
