Slow Dance in a Cold River: A Love Story

She had a name that rolled off the tongue and floated effortlessly and ethereally in the breeze-Montserrat DesJardines. It was not a name easily forgotten, but when attached to the person, the combination was almost magical, or, perhaps, mystical.So begins Slow Dance in a Cold River, where Montserrat's sprawling journey is a story of life, loss and redemption that she must pass through before she can understand and accept love. Where she finds that love takes her into the abyss that she's been trying to crawl out of for nearly her whole life, but the ultimate escape is worth the toils and troubles she must face to find freedom.
