Author of Rock Monster: My Life with Joe Walsh, Kristin Casey, extends her memoirist recollection of the period of her life after her relationship with the rock legend. Her new book, Casey Dancer, is the true story of one newly sober woman's attempt to launch into the complicated world of romance, sex, and intimacy. Much like her yoga practice which serves as an overarching metaphor, finding a balance between strength and flexibility is something that all women strive for.
Beginning chronologically in 2007, Kristin recalls her series of flings and her first real relationship after Joe Walsh with a man named Lalo. Their relationship is full of ups and downs, and ultimately, Kristin has to decide what her values are and whether or not the tumultuous relationship is worth it. Her experiences in dating are ultimately learning experiences and provide a rich opportunity for self-exploration. During this time, she worked as a realtor, stripper, writer, and yoga coach, and ultimately finds her value through non-traditional yet remarkably fulfilling means.
