Re: Wynema
it means "female chief" in Miwok

To my sweet muse
Every time you rip my heart out
Every time you break it
I pick up the pen I hold in my hands
And write the most beautiful poems
But you know what
If it's alright by you
I'd rather be happy than a poet

Since Miwok is a language spoken by a Native American group in northern California, it would seem to have been odd for Ms. Callahan to choose it as a name for her heroine. So this may be a coincidence.
