Grace Oopik is a woman who gave birth with the help of Annie Kowtok.
History[]
Grace labored and gave birth in a pool with Annie attending. When Navarro came in to arrest Annie, Annie refused to go with her until after Grace's baby was born. Grace's baby didn't breathe immediately, so Annie had to perform CPR. After Grace's baby started breathing, Annie handed her to her mother.[1]
When the women of the town, Grace among them, learned that the Tsalal scientists had killed Annie, they gathered together and went out to the station, where they gathered the men, drove them out into the wilderness, forced them to strip, and then sent them out into the snow for Annie to take them or not. When Danvers and Navarro pieced together part of what had happened, Bee told them what had happened, but only in the form of a story, without admitting fault. Danvers and Navarro accepted that and said that forensics showed that a slab avalanche had killed the scientists, meaning the case was officially closed.[2]
Relationships[]
She has a daughter.[1]
