Summary
It was a living, alright, the way Francis saw it, but it wasn’t a life. A life was made of something other than dry red dust and the dregs of a whiskey bottle. When he imagined his grandparents, who he had never met, he thought, That there must have been a life. What they had belonged to them: six children, twelve acres of green Ulster farmland, a body that joined you in slumber and rolled over to touch you in the morning.
Texas, 1881. Francis Crozier is a cow boss who drinks to drown old hurts. James Fitzjames is a secretive city slicker from New York. Their paths cross at Coppermine Ranch.

Summary
The sky was still bruised black and blue when Francis woke. He stood over the bed and laid his thumb against the line of James’ jaw, rubbing gently, so James would know it wasn’t a ghost that had gone. Then James sighed like a good dream had got ahold of him and rolled over, one hand flung out into that empty cooling space. Francis put on his boots and left.
Francis Crozier learns to swim.
