The epigram for Elijah & the SAT is from a song lyric by Kate Campbell:

We need an older angel
If we’re going to make it through
One who’s been around this block we’re on
A time or two

There is another song of Kate’s which was, for me, the soundtrack to the writing of the book. The lyrics are in the final chapter but I wanted to share with you her beautiful voice singing “The Prayer of Thomas Merton.”
