Set between Boston and a bucolic Greek island village, Waking Slow traces an emotional, psychological, and spiritual quest for identity and understanding. After having been sexually assaulted, Irinie Rinie Pothos--whose first name means peace and last name means hunger-- craves strength, independence, and clarity. She refuses to wait passively for those states of being and--like water--Rinie transforms. She's able to yield, destroy, obstruct, heal, or nourish--depending on the circumstances and pressures, as well as the status of her intrinsic will. In Rinie's journey, we discover the volatility of a fragile mind that has been shattered by violence and fear. Waking Slow is indeed a tale of lost innocence. Yet, as Rinie explores her magical and mythic heritage, she slowly regains that innocence--along with a newfound resolve and perspective.Her story captures the feelings of desperately wanting to belong, to fit in--to love and be loved. It painfully, yet honestly depicts the unwarranted shame and distrust inherited by the people who have endured these experiences when they dare to seek joy and pleasure again.The redemptive power of Waking Slow--and Rinie--will surprise you.
