       Dedication

      For Rohan, who told me I should

       and

       For my family, who always knew I could

       Epigraph

      Flying toward thankfulness, you become

      the rare bird with one wing made of fear,

      and one of hope. In autumn,

      a rose crawling along the ground in the cold wind.

      Rain on the roof runs down and out by the spout

      as fast as it can.

      Talking is pain. Lie down and rest,

      now that you’ve found a friend to be with.

      —Rabindranath Tagore
