It was an extraordinary experience. It was painful and it was profoundly beautiful. She had been chosen to be a part of this life or maybe it had chosen her. There is no way to know for sure. 
 The Ukhu Pacha (Inner World), the world where the dead co-exist with the living and where new life is born, was the place she belonged. This was her realm, and she knew this with certainty. Her child, like the child of all mothers, had a body of flesh, blood and bone. But her skin was cold, and she couldn't warm up. She was born with a hole in her heart. She was different from everyone else in the community–and just like her mother before her, she was considered an oddity.
