Tonia new book, “Single and Not Settling: A Journey of Surviving the Dating World”, is a combination memoir and dating advisory manual. Using wit, breezy references and anecdotes, and informative experiences and research, the book, is a narrative from the author about how she managed to survive the dangerous shoals of dating and find her own safe harbor in her forties.

She describes her upbringing on Long Island, where she lived with her family, all the way through her relationships, some lasting and some forgetful, that changed her as she grew into a successful businesswoman. From a canceled engagement in her 20’s, through the rough and tumble dating decade of her 30’s and into her 40’s where she finally secured happiness, Tonia provides a roadmap of failed relationships and new directions with which many women (and men) can intimately identify. Plus, she provides some highly applicable tips at the end of each chapter that can help the reader determine a path towards finding the right mate, without “settling” for less than what is really desired.
