Missy is a novel written by Dana Gatlin. The story follows the life of a young girl named Missy, who grows up in a small town in the American South during the 1960s. Missy is a bright and curious child who is fascinated by the world around her, but she is also haunted by the secrets and tragedies of her family's past.As Missy grows older, she begins to uncover the truth about her family's history and the events that have shaped her life. She discovers that her father, a respected doctor in the community, has a dark side that he has kept hidden for years. Missy also learns about the tragic death of her mother and the role that her father played in it.Throughout the novel, Missy struggles to come to terms with these revelations and to find her place in the world. She is torn between her love for her father and her need to confront the truth about him. Along the way, she forms close bonds with other members of her community, including a young African American boy named Marcus, who becomes her closest friend.Missy is a poignant and powerful novel that explores themes of family, identity, and the search for truth. It is a moving portrait of a young girl's journey to find her place in the world and to come to terms with the secrets and tragedies of her past.Down the broad oak staircase--through the silent hall--into the drawing-room runs Lilian, singing as she goes. The room is deserted; through the half-closed blinds the glad sunshine is rushing, turning to gold all on which its soft touch lingers, and rendering the large, dull, handsome apartment almost comfortable. . .This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
