With today’s heightened violence in the U.S. and abroad, there is an urgent need to ease a sense of fear and isolation. Naked Romance and Then Some explores the yearning for connection in an increasingly disquieted and desensitized world. It is inspired by Singer’s experience of living in Taos, New Mexico, and by Barbara Ascher’s meditation on romance, Isn’t It Romantic (HarperCollins), a collection of essays on finding magic in everyday life.

A woman’s metaphysical journey at the turn of the 3rd millennium. Time blurs as we meet past and present lovers, and a mother with dementia.  Recent backdrops—9/11 and global warming— mirror personal frailty, and unsettled relationships become metaphors for a world of heightened disconnection. The future is dicey and hope lies in ordinary moments rekindled by the heart.
