Summary: "Concerning Sally" by William John Hopkins is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Sally, a ten-year-old girl, and her family dynamics, particularly focusing on her relationship with her father, Professor Ladue, who struggles with his own demons as he balances his ambitions and family responsibilities. The book paints a tender portrait of childhood innocence amidst the complexities of adult failures and the emotional challenges in Sally's life. The opening of the book introduces us to Professor Ladue, who is portrayed as both a dedicated academic and an emotionally distant father. As he prepares to leave for a college meeting, he interacts with Sally, who demonstrates a mixture of seriousness and concern for her family, especially her mother, who suffers from frequent headaches. This initial scene sets up a backdrop of tension, as Sally exhibits an awareness of her family's troubles, highlighting the themes of innocence against adult struggles. The narrative captures Sally's resilience as she assumes roles that highlight her maturity, despite her young age, hinting at the deeper emotional journey she will face as the story unfolds.
