Tha Marta air dòigh-beatha gu tur eadar-dhealaichte a thaghadh. Aig aois naodh bliadhna deug, roghnaich i a bhith na bean-chràbhaidh 's i a' dol a-steach dhan an òrdugh as teinne a th' ann. Anns an taigh-cràbhaidh, tha i beò ann an sàmhchair, gun cheangal sam bith aice ris an t-saoghal a tha a-muigh, agus chan fhaic i a teaghlach ach airson seachd tursan gach bliadhna
ann an seòmar-coinneachaidh sònraichte.

Marta has chosen an extremely radical lifestyle. At 19, she joined a Carmelite order, the strictest of all cloister orders. Living under a vow of silence, she is never allowed to leave the convent and can only see her family seven times a year, in a special visitors' room with bars separating the nuns from their guests.
