Reclamation: An Asexual and Aromantic Journey to Wholeness - Paperback

by Cindy Mundahl (Author)

One person's lifelong search for belonging uncovers the myths of love, intimacy, and a life she was taught to want- but was never meant to live.

Growing up Catholic in a Minnesota suburb in the 1970s, Cindy Mundahl was expected to adhere to strict gender roles and societal norms. More comfortable playing sports than with dolls, and baffled by other girls' interest in boys, she was like a fish out of water. At a young age, she sensed everyone else lived with an ease that evaded her. By her fifties she came to understand herself as asexual and aromantic.

Her story reveals the cost of living a prescribed life-performing relationships, desire, and belonging according to scripts that never quite fit. Blending personal narrative with spiritual reflection, Reclamation invites readers into an odyssey of transformation, authenticity, and embodied wholeness.
