Chapter 1 Summary: “Molly, Fifteen Years Ago, October 20th, 2007”

Molly tells her father that she is going out for supplies for her infant sister, Layla. Her father objects, saying that Molly was out all day, working at the diner. Molly notes how she buys drugs and alcohol for her parents; her mother is passed out on the couch, and Molly fears that neither of them can take care of Layla. Her father lets her go, telling her to buy cigarettes and beer. They are in Reaper Canyon, Montana, and Molly comments that her mother was a valedictorian in high school, but she gave up her dreams when she started taking drugs and married Molly’s father, Raymond Devereaux. At the store, Molly finds Mario, the shop owner, who expresses concern for Molly.
