" Alone Together connects writers, readers, and booksellers in a wonderfully imaginative way. It's a really good book for a really good cause." James Patterson, Bestselling author, and Co-Ambassador for The Book Industry Charitable Foundation
"I loved Alone Together. It's a brilliant, diverse, rich collections of essays, poetry, essays and dialogue by some of our most important (and some of my personal favorite) authors. Of course, the writing is as beautiful as it is varied. While the subject matter is overwhelmingly depressing, it's also reassuring to read that I'm not alone in what I'm feeling. These are powerful messages of unity and hope in a time of isolation and despair. Alone Together is a very important work that has emerged from a very dark time." Kevin O'Brien, New York Times Bestselling Author of The Bad Sister and The Betrayed Wife
