Today we have the first chapter of Maria Finn‘s new memoir, Hold Me Tight and Tango Me Home. This selection is about Finn’s first tango lesson after her split from her cheating husband. She’s learning how to step and maintain her frame, but she’s also learning to be touched–not in a romantic way, but just one person to another. Though her heart is broken, there’s comfort in feeling her partner’s heartbeat and establishing a connection with another human.

Enjoy!
