ABOUT THE BOOK
In the 1980s Laurie Nadel began keeping a journal as she learned
how to windsurf, using Zen as a way of finding balance within
herself. When she came down with an illness with no medical cure,
what she had learned from Zen and windsurfing took her far beyond
what she ever thought she could accomplish-physically, mentally
and spiritually.
Dancing with the Wind has been nominated for a National
Book Award.
