Summary "Faith Gartney's Girlhood" by A. D. T. Whitney is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows Faith Gartney, a young girl navigating the complexities of growing up in a family facing financial struggles, while also exploring her personal ambitions and desires. Central themes include social class, familial obligations, and the challenges of young womanhood. At the start of the book, we are introduced to the Gartney family living in Mishaumok, where Faith and her mother discuss the financial difficulties that prevent them from indulging in the small luxuries that Faith desires, such as new shoes and gloves for an upcoming party. This conversation reveals the tension between the family's aspirations and their financial reality. The narrative also hints at Faith's thoughtful nature as she contemplates her role in the family and expresses a longing for opportunities beyond her current situation. At the same time, we are introduced to glimpses of other young characters, hinting at the interwoven lives and experiences that will unfold throughout the story.
