The Guilt of the Night People
Mizpa Mijam Ratliff
Follow the heart-breaking tale of a young midwife, Siuntla, hardly more than a child herself when she is Outcast by her own People on their planet of origin, Kiwa, for saving one of the infants in a twin birth which the Village Elders are certain may bring the community bad luck. In the meanti me, a million sets of foreign eyes set their sights on Siuntla's village and take horrifying advantage of the People who dwell there: confi dent in who they are as denizens of Kiwa, and yet crushed by the supreme ignorance of the blood which actually fl ows in their veins. As Siuntla fl ees with her child and struggles to protect him from Elders who would steal him away, Siuntla faces romanti c love, the sti ng of jealousy, the heart-break of betrayal, and concern for the children she is raising . . . all the while trying to discover who-or what-she really is.
