Description

Haunted by ghosts of the recent and distant past, the author abandons his faith, his marriage and his career as a pastor and heads off to the tango salons of Buenos Aires. He is compelled by the irrational hope that immersing himself in this seamy, sensual dance will transform his inner turmoil into something of elegance and beauty and passion. This memoir is a sensitive but frequently light-hearted account of healing from childhood trauma. In alternating attempts to avoid and confront these formative wounds, the author stumbles on and off of divergent life paths, including religious fundamentalism, the parish ministry, a mismatched marriage, New Age Paganism and ultimately Argentine tango. This reflective treatment of the effect of abuse on the developing psyche will be an engaging read for anyone seeking understanding into the courageous and difficult journey of healing.
