“Knew you the second you set foot on my property, kid. Even young as you were, how could I not? Folks want to blame someone for gals like us. ‘Her daddy was unkind’ or ‘some fella broke her heart’…Hogwash. You and me’ve always been like this. Always a little removed. Always—dreaming. Of higher, further, faster…more. Always more. We came into the world spittin’ mad, running full bore…To or from what, I ain’t never been able to tell. Over the years, I’ve come to think of these particular traits as the shared attributes of a chosen people…the Lord put us here to punch holes in the sky. And when a soul is born with that kind of purpose…It’ll damn sure find a way. We’re gonna get where we’re going, you and me. Death and indignity be damned…we’ll get there…And we will be the stars we were always meant to be.”
