A Summer to Remember

Growing up in rural Mississippi as the preacher's youngest daughter, sixteen year old Melanie Murray is as pious as one can be. She's as plain as any old Jane and is 'bout rambunctious as a bulldog. That being said, she sure as hell ain't afraid to speak her mind - whether it hurts others or not.

She's promised herself that she ain't about to change - no matter what the circumstances - especially cause she ain't one for change, but everyone else says she ought to as any other young lady should.

But nevertheless, she'd rather cut her fingers off and be boiled alive than change - especially for a boy; at least that what she tells herself.
