| Summary | "Gloria: A Girl and Her Dad" by Lilian Garis is a children's novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows Gloria Doane, a resilient and spirited young girl, and her father, Edward Doane, as they navigate the challenges of their lives, marked by the loss of Gloria's mother. Set in the coastal town of Barbend, the narrative explores themes of friendship, growing up, and the bond between a father and daughter. The opening of the book introduces us to Gloria and her best friend Tom Whitely, highlighting the stark contrasts in their personalities: Gloria's vivaciousness versus Tom's more reserved nature. Their camaraderie deepens due to both children being raised without their mothers. As the summer vacation in Barbend comes to a close, the two friends engage in humorous banter, and we see their strong loyalty to each other. Gloria reveals her father's hopes for a new opportunity, while alluding to changes in her own life, including potential schooling away from home, which adds a layer of emotional complexity to their innocent adventures. The scene is set for exploring the transitions each character will face as the narrative unfolds. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
