A story about escape from our fast-paced, digitally supplied prison of alienation, where we must wait in silence until redeemed!

Posted: 19-Mar-2026


Attacks on the family structure in the USA, aided by greed, selfishness, social/income disparities, and the decline of human values, have ripped family ties that once held its social fabric together and greatly alienated its citizens. Single-parent homes and thousands of educated, decently employed young people living single are a sobering witness to its destructive power.

The majority of us will readily agree that social alienation, i.e., loneliness, is perhaps life’s worst punishment, and living single drains out nearly all of its worth and beauty!

So, if you are living in it, how do you escape “Prison Alienation?” You desperately need your soulmate, but finding him/her remains a long-drawn and arduous process, fraught with disappointments and even moderate danger if you aren’t careful!

Dating apps pave the way for an escape, but they aren’t quite adequate. Instant gratification is a trap on the way out.

Will you escape Prison Alienation, the traps of instant satisfaction, and find that precious soulmate in the end?

Hear the words of wisdom this book offers and be wise: maybe, you’ll strike gold if you carefully do likewise!

This book by an American suicide specialist with over 40 years of experience as a clinical social worker (after acquiring an MS degree in social work from George Williams College, Chicago) says exactly the above!

Most suicidal people don’t want to die. They want someone to intervene and save them from whatever insurmountable threat they are faced with, so they can AVOID SUICIDE!

Strictly speaking, this book is a supplementary resource book on suicide prevention/care for mental health professionals, so I recommend it primarily for clinical social workers, psychologists, and psychiatrists. You are also welcome to read it for (i) general awareness, and (ii) to better prepare yourself to care for a friend or family member who may be at risk of suicide now or in the future.
