About the Book

Though born in a small town in Iowa, Melinda never felt quite at home there. As an adult, her search for herself leads away from America to the exotic, intoxicating island of Bali. There she finds herself living a life she hasn't anticipated, becoming a housewife and mother. This memoir of her experience with pregnancy and birth offers a window on life for a western woman living in an intricate Asian culture that respects the mysterious forces of darkness as well as the light. Confronted with the vulnerability and transformation of pregnancy and birth, intensified by separation from all that is comfortingly familiar, the author draws on her greatest resources within to face the darkest corners of her own past. There she finds the courage to trust her inner knowing, her own body and her own voice. "This book may be considered Melinda's second child. For some books truly live and breathe. This one holds a vision that brings healing to the ethos. I wish for each and every expectant mother and father to read this book, so they may leave behind all the stories fraught with fear. As you read, you may enter the sacred space this family made to welcome their baby." Ibu Robin Lim
