“Absolutely stunning! With memorable, passionate detail, Leah Lax recounts a unique search for wholeness and healing that paradoxically plunged her into the quicksand of shame. Mark Doty, National Book Award author of Fire to Fire, Firebird, and Deep Lane “Aching, absorbingly told, and with genuine tenderness toward the damaged, struggling, and sometimes helpful souls who populate a life, Uncovered is a marvelous memoir, one in which any reader will find echoes of our own quests for an authentic life.” It's been said that, if one woman told the truth, the world would split open. Leah Lax lived that life, yet has the spirit, courage and honesty to tell her story. All over the world are women whose bodies are covered, not by their own decision, but by one of the many patriarchal religions that by definition rule their wombs. “In Uncovered, Leah Lax tells a personal story that millions of women can recognize. Lax tells a story that resists codified narratives and breaks through to a new way of understanding the world.”
