288 pages · First published 2014
Eighteen-year-old Anne Shirley leaves Green Gables for Redmond College in Kingsport, eager for learning, independence, and new friendships. Sharing cozy Patty’s Place with her friends brings laughter, companionship, and opportunities to pursue her writing dreams. But changing relationships, painful loss, and unexpected proposals challenge her cherished ideas about growing up and falling in love. As Gilbert Blythe’s feelings become harder to overlook, Anne must discover whether her imagined romantic ideal resembles the love she truly wants. With affectionate humor, enduring friendships, and a home worth returning to, this coming-of-age classic pairs beautifully with a crisp autumn afternoon.
