Diane LeBow’s stories, like her life, take you to places and experiences you’ve probably never imagined. They are passionate, poignant, funny, sometimes tragic, and always unexpected. Share a meal with Corsican rebels in the ragged mountains of this ancient island, meet a black stallion in a blizzard on the Mongolian steppes, assist Afghan women exiled in Tajikistan in writing a Declaration of their Rights for the new Constitution, and savor a love affair with an elegant French Baron. LeBow gives us peeks behind the curtains into women’s and men’s lives around the world in our search for answers to universal human questions such as how to experience the best our world offers, ways to balance our desire for love with yearning for freedom and adventure, and longing for a sense of home within ourselves and in our worlds. "In this glorious memoir, Diane LeBow weaves together the colorful threads of an adventurous woman's life and takes us along on an invigorating and thoughtful journey through memory, culture, rebellion, and self-discovery." ─Jasmin Darznik, New York Times bestselling author of The Bohemians "A keenly observed travel memoir of a passionate woman's odyssey; from her awakening to sensual adventures and trail blazing on different continents. LeBow explores l'amour from a love affair with a French baron to seduction in St Tropez, and a liaison in a tomb with the view of the pyramids. A rollicking read! " ─Cara Black, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of nineteen books in the Private Investigator Aimée Leduc series "Dancing with Diane LeBow across the globe is a rambunctious and risqué romp indeed, but this memoir is so much more: It is a time-traveling chronicle of one woman's—and all women's—challenges, intimacies, and transformations as she navigates her way through a changing world. This book electrifies the universal emotion inside all of us. " ─Erin Byrne, author of Wings: Gifts of Art, Life, and Travel in France "Coming of age at a time when women were told they should be housewives, Diane LeBow never let anyone tell her what to do . She charted her own course and became a spirited travel writer, opening new worlds to readers. What makes these stories so compelling isn't just the exotic places she visits but the evocative way she describes the people she meets along the way." —Michael Shapiro, author of The Creative Spark and A Sense of Place " A celebration of life, love and travel , Diane LeBow's collection of travel tales, Dancing on the Wine-Dark Sea , is uplifting, inspiring and full of joy. It's a wonderful read! " —Linda Watanabe McFerrin, author of Navigating the Divide
