Mom's Review
One Person is a beautiful acknowledgement of the the power each of us has to hurt or heal. The feelings of being ignored and friendless are perfectly captured between the covers, as is the uncertainty an outside observer can feel before talking to the "friendless" person. For one person to choose differently from the rest of the group, to make a decision that conflicts with what a perceived leader prefers, can be a scary decision. Hae-June and Frankel do not shy away from showing the truth of loneliness and the power of one person.
If you are lonely or ever have been, the simple existence of this book offers you recognition of that experience. You are not totally invisible. You are not totally alone.
