Swooning Beauty: A Memoir of Pleasure
Summary
Performance artist and art historian (U. of Nevada, Reno), Frueh chronicles her spiritual recovery after the death of her parents and her divorce. Through an examination of her intuitions, desires, fantasies, dreams and emotions, Frueh is able to reassess her life and her potential.
