Well, this book is about a vagina, and how it hurt and how it healed, sort of. A very quick, interesting read by the author of Girl, Interrupted.
"I wanted my vagina back...I wanted the world to regain the other dimension that only the vagina can perceive. Because the vagina is the organ that looks to the future. The vagina is potential. It's not emptiness, it's possibility, and possibility was exactly what was missing from my life."

~~~excerpt from The Camera My Mother Gave Me by Susanna Kaysen.
