Never Tango With a Stranger: Love in Peron's Argentina

1951, Paris. San Francisco socialite Nancy Cooke meets Luis de Herrera, a dashing sports car driver from Argentina who is driving with the American team at Le Mans. It is love at first sight for the couple, but several obstacles keep them apart. After heartbreaking separations and months of uncertainty, they finally marry. Is it happily ever after? Not quite . Nancy's divorce isn't recognized by the strict Catholic country of Argentina, and she struggles to be accepted as de Herrera's wife. But as time passes, Nancy becomes more familiar with the people of Argentina, especially of Juan Peron and his wife, Evita. She witnesses the country's fictitious agony over Evita's illness, and the choreographed, Hollywood-like production mourning her death. Later, Nancy even participates in the revolution to overthrow Peron. But while visiting the United States, Nancy and Luis are exposed to atomic radiation fallout, resulting in Luis's tragic death. Such a horrific event spurs Nancy's search for answers, and begins a new, lifelong spiritual quest that continues to this day. With amazing candor and heartbreaking emotion, Never Tango with a Stranger tells Nancy's bittersweet story of love, loss, and illumination, and provides a compelling portrait of the power and strength of the human spirit.

There are some stories that no writer is talented enough to craft, no imagination wild enough to create, no storyteller gifted enough to tell. These are the true-life stories of people who go unnoticed by us for almost a lifetime. These are the people who live by their own rules, pay little attention to other people's truths, and follow their own hearts. In the process, they suffer great pains, and experience great joy. In the end, we all want to share in their journey, learn their lessons, and live, if only for a moment, vicariously. 
Nancy Cooke de Herrera has led a life of subtle defiance, in order to live a life of great adventure, always in search of something more.
