Big Sky Girl

In Livingston, Montana, the red brick storefronts look small under the mountains, and the mountains look small under the sky. Maddy ties up her hair and double-knots her apron and walks through the door of the brewery where she waits tables after school. It’s September, and business is slow. Summer was full of sunburnt families on their way to see geysers and bison at Yellowstone Park. Now she’ll be bringing burgers to ranchers and locals until ski season starts.
