Summary
Raylene Givens gets sent back to Kentucky – the last place she wants to be, mind – and the first thing anyone does is send her out to Harlan, to track down Boyd gawd-damn Crowder. Of fucking course.
She storms out the front door, and Art hollers, “What the hell's got you so riled?”
My goddamn husband, she doesn't say.
(Raylene and Boyd, told in pieces)

Summary
Arlo simply didn't want a girl because they never really made back what they cost you. You couldn't set them on the mines during the summer and they weren't suited to his 'businesses', couldn't crack knee caps or stand shoulder to shoulder with him, block a doorway and put a fist against a face. They were useless, and he growled as much often enough; gave his girl the name Raylan so everyone would know he didn't have a say in the matter, but it was clear as crystal what his say would have been.

Summary
She dreams of machines that can take her away, she dreams of resting between the crest of a bird’s wings, of fleeing this holler, this place, this earth that has her shackled.

Summary
Boyd loved her before her face and her tits and her ass. Boyd loved her when he thought she was a boy and when she got him beaten up by Bowman and his cousins and when she spit in his lunch during their three week hate-you-forever-and-ever-period in fifth grade.
Boyd’s loved her like the oldest stories of love, like a drop of water in the desert in the hands of a thirsting man.
That doesn’t mean that she trusts him.
