On a bright Colorado afternoon in September, Ofelia Sage emerges with eyes wide open and quickly shuts them for a near two-week adjustment. Her father is delighted and astounded. Her mother is led from the bathroom in which she stood over the toilet in her last thrusting moments of labor; she shakes with adrenaline as they lay her down and carefully place a gray, bruised, wet thing to her chest. It's warm, though, and wiggly, and as helpless as she. The rest of the room and world fade in their embrace.
