About the New Book

Sex and Soul Redux: A Memoir of Salvation is about the quest to reconcile body and soul: In a story of transition from compliance to nonconformity, Cristina L. 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.

“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. I wanted to be Roy Rogers.”

Sex and Soul is a frank account of how one woman’s road to damnation became her sole path to salvation.

"This is the kind of book that validates both our hopes and our fears, the kind of book we wait years to read."
-- Larina Warnock
poet and author of American Rural

"Cristina can write. If you are interested in life, read this book."
-- David Hayes, Tai Chi Instructor
