For my family: my parents, Roger and Theresa;
my sister, Laura; and my brothers, Richard and Tony—
who all love nothing more than a good story, well told.
There was always this dichotomy: what to keep up, what to change.
—WILLIAM TREVOR, “THE PIANO TUNER’S WIVES”
That’s how I knew this story would break my heart
When you wrote it
That’s how I knew this story would break my heart
—AIMEE MANN, THE FORGOTTEN ARM
