Description
A bold and heartfelt tale of life at Green Gables, set in rural Prince Edward Island in the nineteenth century, introduces Marilla Cuthbert, a young girl of thirteen, whose world is turned upside down by the loss of her mother in childbirth. With her father and brother to care for, Marilla must take on the responsibilities of a farm wife, managing the day-to-day life of the farm and its inhabitants. As she navigates this new reality, Marilla finds solace in her aunt, Aunt Elizabeth "Izzy" Johnson, who has built a thriving business as a seamstress and made her own way in the world. Emboldened by her aunt's example, Marilla dares to venture beyond the safety of Green Gables, discovering new friends and opportunities. Her budding romance with John Blythe, the charming son of a neighbor, offers her a possibility of future happiness, but also draws her into the dangerous world of politics and abolition. In this moving historical novel, Sarah McCoy brings to life the story of Marilla Cuthbert, a plucky and ambitious young girl who must confront the challenges of her new life and the choices that will shape her future.
