| Summary | "Missy" by Dana Gatlin is a coming-of-age novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Melissa, affectionately nicknamed Missy, who is navigating the complexities of childhood, emotions, and faith as she experiences the world around her. The narrative presents her growth through religious experiences, family interactions, and early encounters with romance—particularly with her cousin, Pete, and the young doctor, Doc, which foreshadows her burgeoning understanding of love. The opening of "Missy" introduces us to Melissa as a ten-year-old girl grappling with new feelings and responsibilities following a Sunday school class. Her profound emotions and delicate religious sentiments coalesce during her encounter with a church choir practicing a mournful hymn, evoking a divine connection that enchants her. However, her emotional journey takes a turn when she faces the mockery of her cousin after sharing her feelings about this divine glow. Colonel conflict arises as she confronts her burgeoning identity as a young woman against the backdrop of social expectations and family dynamics. The narrative beautifully captures her introspective thoughts, her longing for understanding, and the complex emotional tapestry of her early years, setting the stage for her development throughout the novel.
