American Tango

A novel about men and women, love and loss, regaining passion and, of course, the tango. Rosalind Plumley needs something. She's a thirtysomething aspiring artist in Portland, Oregon whose sole output has dwindled to decorative paintings of hummingbirds for the upscale children's boutique where she works. She’s coping with her marriage to a blocked, depressed writer while her eccentric family threatens to consume what little sanity she has left. When she hits on the romantic idea that moving to Buenos Aires will restore passion and purpose to her life she has little idea just what she's getting herself into. A tango class leads her on an unexpected journey as she discovers the surprising path of her own desires and a new understanding of her family’s complicated history.
