Author Notes:Mary Finn is the author of Anila's Journey, winner of a Parents' Choice Gold Award and the Ellis Dillon Award for a first book in her native Ireland. About Belladonna, she says, "I fell in love with George Stubbs's precise yet ghostly anatomical studies of the horse. It was unlikely territory for a novel until Ling appeared, crying out for help." Mary Finn lives in Dublin, Ireland.
