Montana's Murphy Tolstoy

She's a big-name model in Hollywood now, but she grew up in a swirl of vermiculite dust, breathing it in with the rest of her family. Out of dozens of family members, only Murphy and her brother and an aunt have survived, and all three have the smooth walls in their lungs which portend disaster. Murphy also has gold tailings effluent in her blood, and transfusions have not been able to remove them. "But I come up here and my heart swells to see the larch and mountains, coz that beauty too is in my blood."
