Now she makes a major decision to leave Pittman County, change her name (Taylor Greer), and start a new life. In the beginning, this decision seems to be a good one, but then I began to re-question Missy's decision when she begins to run into car trouble, strangers, and money shortages. She even takes in a baby Indian girl whose mother died.
