Excerpt
It had taken over three years to develop that rickety rapport as Kate replaced Paul as his pupil. Her husband had then taken on the role of guide for his son, leaving Kate painfully aware more than George could remind her that she was a woman and therefore excluded. She felt that sting more since George passed five years ago.
Kate realized anew how Paul’s sister, Mala, had chaffed under the same yoke of sexual bigotry. Not even now when her own son, Cesar, approached his ordeal, too, could Marla achieve any satisfaction for her role as a female because she would be as excluded as Kate in the coming rites.
Sighing, Kate opened her eyes. Her role in Allen’s ordeal would be one of waiting. She consoled herself with the necessity to become accustomed to it, even now waiting for her son to speak.
“She’s really scared,” Allen said in almost a whisper.
Kate studied the boy’s face. Delores had telegraphed her fear to him. Wondering how to explain those first-baby jitters to a boy, she began, “That’s normal, Allen. Having a baby the first time is scary. Your Aunt Delores doesn’t know what she can—”
“Not her, Mom,” he interrupted.
Kate wrinkled her forehead in question as Allen looked at her helplessly.
“The baby. She’s so scared.”
