A book you sit with, allow it to divulge its wisdom and ponder: oh, what it means to be a girl/woman from the start of time, beyond what I could comprehend.
As I said, sit with the knowledge …others have walked this path. Repair, rebirth, reunion, rejuvenation of humanity, not just sisterhood.

All in all this was a bit of a mundane read. But I have to give it some stars because there are one or two parts I've reflected back on time and time again.
