NIGHT OF THE BLACKBIRD

First and foremost, with love for my mother

Violet J. Graham Sherman of County Dublin

for being Irish, for being a great mom.

In memory of Granny Browne and Aunt Amy

who taught me all about banshees and leprechauns—

at least, their versions of the tales.

For my cousin, Katie Browne DeVuono,

for being everything wonderful about the Irish.

For Victoria Graham Davant, my sister, my best friend,

for all that we share from the past and the present.
