| Summary | "Miss Lou" by Edward Payson Roe is a novel written in the late 19th century, likely during the post-Civil War era. The story centers around a young Southern girl named Lou, who feels trapped by her life and the expectations placed upon her by her guardians, particularly in the context of impending marriage to her cousin, Mad Whately. The book explores themes of personal freedom, societal constraints, and the complex dynamics between the North and South during a tumultuous time in American history. The opening of "Miss Lou" introduces us to the protagonist, a spirited young woman who expresses dissatisfaction with her confined life and the rigid expectations of her guardian uncle. As she engages in a candid conversation with Aun' Jinkey—a trusted maternal figure—Lou reveals her frustrations with the limitations imposed on her thoughts and ambitions. When a Union soldier, Allan Scoville, unexpectedly arrives in peril, she is forced to confront the complexities of her emotions and the stark realities of war, raising questions about her allegiance and the freedoms she yearns for. This encounter sets the stage for the ensuing conflicts and decisions that will shape her destiny, intertwining her fate with the broader socio-political landscape of her time.
