One spring, looking for the tiny green frogs that appeared as soon as the first warmth was in the air, my brothers and I splashed knee deep in the stream, making enough noise between us to frighten any creature away. If you are lucky enough to grow up the way I did, you have plenty of good things to remember. My hand crept into Finbar’s we stood immobile until it was dark, and then my brother took me home. As they landed, the sound was like my name, over and over: Sorcha, Sorcha. The final glide to the water, the silvery flashing as it parted to receive them.

I ignored him, reaching down into the mysterious depths. After all, there were six brothers altogether, and five of them were older than he was. “You might fall in.” He was a year older than me and made the most of what little authority that gave him. “Don’t lean over so far, Sorcha,” said Padriac.
