Ah yes, so it was.
I finally found the book I was thinking of. Its Irish Myths and Legends by Michael Scott.
In it, Lilith is the first wife of Adam, made from the mud beneath Adams feet. God found her to be imperfect, so she was cast out of the Garden.
After Cain (son of Adam and Eve) killed able and God punished him by giving him pustules over his body and left him to wander the world, shunned by all people.
Together he and Lilith spawned a race that was not blessed by God. Though they came from monsters, the children were beautiful.
Three of these children, Banba, Fotla and Eriu are the original Goddesses of Ireland.
