God's Glass is the life story of Joanie Callahan, a woman born with algophilia - the scientific term for masochism. But Joanie's masochism isn't just sexual - it's all of her happiness that's tied to pain. She can only feel the highest emotional joys of art, music, love, and other things through some measure of pain. Joanie's family ostracizes her for this, going so far as to get her an exorcism and have her committed to a psych ward for electro-shock therapy. Joanie is all alone in the world, until she meets a boxer named Michael who might possibly be just like her...
