Tango: An Argentine Love Story

Tango is a memoir of a woman who loved, lost, got mad, and decided to dance. It's a story of falling in love with a country through the dance that embodies intensity, freedom, and passion — all pivotal to the process of self-discovery. From the charm of local barrios to savory empanadas, the author whole-heartedly embraces the ardent culture of Argentina, and soon a month-long escape turns into a year-long personal odyssey. Slowly letting go through a blend of tango, Zen, and a burgeoning group of friends, the author discovers that her fierceness and patience can exist in harmony as she learns how to survive in style when love falls apart.
