1. Why is it so important to know who you are and where you came from?
2. Do you think Neen will ever tell Auntie Ushag what she's realized about the bones they found?
3. Neen comes to the conclusion that her mother was never a merrow, and that merrows might not even exist. What does she think about Ma Slevin's other stories about the kraken or the changeling that took Scully's place?
