Publisher Marketing:
"Invites us to imagine a life rooted in kinship, community, and the deep, enduring relationships we crave." --Laura Danger, author of No More Mediocre

A transformative and warmhearted blend of memoir, psychology, and social science that reframes intimate relationships with practical steps to build community and combat the loneliness epidemic. Perfect for fans of When You Care and Big Friendship.

When we're juggling a mountain of responsibilities on our own, it feels like there simply isn't enough time to take care of ourselves, our families, and our to-do lists. Even when we're partnered and surrounded by friends, we're often too hesitate to ask for help. But to survive today's age of overwork and precarity, we need to turn to our relationships for the support we need to stay afloat, whether it's financial, emotional, or otherwise. So why don't we?

Now writer and New Yorker cartoonist Sophie Lucido Johnson explores the importance of our closest relationships--beyond the typical nuclear family or casual friendship--and provides the tools you need to forge kinship: relationships built on emotional support, physical care, and shared resources. From asking for help on a grocery run, to choosing to have roommates later in life to combat loneliness, to living in modern day "mommunes" of single mothers sharing bills and responsibilities, Kin shows the vast range of kinship structures she and others are thriving in--and how to build your own community of support and change your life for the better.

Featuring personal stories and insights from psychologists and sociologists, "this bighearted book will make you want to reach out to those you already hold dear" (Tove Danovich, author of Under the Henfluence).
