| Abstract |
"Burned out from work and a recent breakup, Andie Branson, a 38 year old commercial artist in a conservative town in the American South, has a shocking and unexpected religious experience, kundalini rising, the physical manifestation of tantric enlightenment. Andie's struggle to regain control of her mind and body is complicated by a too close connection with her glamorous world wandering parents, especially her magnetically attractive father, and by an assignment working closely with a bigoted U.S. senator, a man who, for her, personifies evil. Her story ranges from the elegant little golf town of Pinehurst, North Carolina, to the raucous and shadowy byways of pre-Katrina New Orleans, with pauses in India, Ecuador, and other exotic locations"--Page 4 of cover. |
