Sex and Soul Redux: A Memoir of Salvation<\/i><\/strong> recounts the author\u2019s struggle between the dictates of her religious upbringing and the call to be true to her own sense of self. The memoir traces her transition from good Catholic girl to an out and proud gay woman of faith. It affirms the worth of each person\u2019s search to understand and claim their own authenticity.<\/p>\n \u201cI 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.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cCristina can write. If you want to know about life, read this book.\u201d<\/p>\n David Hayes \u201cMs. White\u2019s memoir is illuminating and fascinating. Her courage in following her heart to find her own place in the world is inspirational. She shows how fundamentally alike all human beings are in their need for a meaningful life.\u201d<\/p>\n Corinne Greve Print and eBook editions available now at Amazon<\/b><\/a>.

The work is inspired by a belief that love is the lifeblood of our existence here on earth\u2014these poems sing that anthem.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cCristina White\u2019s poems…are hymns of honest gratitude for the memories of loves lost and the persistence of longing.
