      While plenty of books share tips for finding Mr. Right, and others counsel women to enjoy singlehood before that happens, this -manifesta - urges older women to value the single state in and for itself. Drawing from her online biweekly column -Singles & Doubles, - Stewart provides information on being one's own self supporter, quizzes for self-understanding, and ideas for managing life's milestones without marriage. Readers will encounter out-of-the-box advice, e.g., seeing one's mechanic, hairdresser, lawyer, and accountant as partners in making life work. Also included are recipes for delights such as Morning-After French Toast and a monthly calendar of ideas that includes hosting an Oscar night party in February. This fun, thoroughly enjoyable, and inspiring book is recommended for all libraries.
