/"We have much to talk about./" Grandmother sits me down in the chair across from her. A platter of small sandwiches and a pitcher of water takes the over the surface of the coffee table, and I smile. My stomach has been begging for something whipped up by her.

Grandmother sits back and clasps her hands together, resting them on her lap. /"It is about the moon goddess./"

/"What—what about her?/"
