DESCRIPTION:
"I grew up in a world where it seemed that all women were meant to marry, and it was expected that every girl wanted to be a bride. In a story of transition from compliance to nonconformity, Cristina L. I wanted to be Roy Rogers." Sex and Soul: A Memoir of Salvation is about the quest to reconcile body and soul; it is an intimate look at a struggle between the dictates of a Catholic upbringing and the call to be true to one's sense of self. Sex and Soul is a frank and often funny account of how one woman's road to damnation became her sole path to salvation.. White shares her sexual awakening, spiritual transformation, and her political affinities-a trinity that fueled her change from good Catholic girl to an out and open gay woman of color
"White takes us with her on her journey" according to Linda Hamner. A beautifully crafted memoir with so many lyrical, poetic images. I have travelled so many of the same geographical roads as the author. San Francisco, Berkekey, Big Sur, NewYork, Los Angeles. And yes,even North Hollywood! White's memoir took me right back to these places. Marion Whitney said She writes about searching for love, something we all share. The first paragraph had me. Read it three times before I could go on. Cristina's writing is poetry. My eyes and heart were opened. She writes about searching for love, something we all share. And mortality!. Wow! Ms. White creates an intensely personal journey weaving a tapestry of overlapping memories that allow time and space to have more than linear meaning. This delicious journey through her loves, her sexuality, her search for her soul, brought clearly back to my mind my own
