A rowdy, exuberant, heart-grabbing blast of an adventure, Missy begins in 1862 with Dol McQueen, nineteen year old prostitute and opium user, heading for a boomtown in the American West. On the way she prevents a man from hanging himself only to discover he is a murderous pimp…
When he turns up later at the saloon where she has found work with some stolen loot he wants her to hide, Dol grabs the chance to start a new life and takes off into the wilderness with the loot - and all hell in pursuit. Her alcoholic mother is an added burden on the mad, epic journey; can Dol save herself, her mother and their poisonous relationship?
