| Summary | "The First Soprano" by Mary Hitchcock is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds in a church setting, focusing on the main character, Winifred Gray, a young soprano who grapples with the sincerity of her worship and her role within the church choir. The narrative sets the stage for a deeper exploration of faith, authenticity, and the personal turmoil that arises from questioning one's spirituality and meaning behind religious practices. At the start of the story, we are introduced to a Sunday morning service in New Laodicea, where the choir is preparing for a performance, and the congregation is settling in. As Winifred sings an anthem, she realizes that her participation has been devoid of true worship or meaning, leading her to reflect critically on her motivations and spiritual sincerity. The young preacher's sermon on genuine worship challenges her understanding of faith and compels her to confront uncomfortable truths about her relationship with God. As she grapples with her feelings of hypocrisy and longing for true worship, the opening chapters set the tone for her internal conflict and the journey she will undertake to seek authenticity in her spiritual life.
