Teď je Emily sirotek a její upjatí příbuzní z hrdého starého rodu ji berou k sobě, aby s nimi žila na farmě Novoluní. I když je přesvědčená, že tam nikdy nebude šťastná, Novoluní ji na první pohled okouzlí. Se svou obrovskou představivostí, vtipem a odvahou se umí vypořádat s přísnou rodinou i zlomyslnými spolužáky a objevovat krásné věci kolem sebe, i když ji nevyčerpatelná fantazie občas zavádí až do různých nepříjemností a malérů. Překonávat potíže jí pomáhá literární nadání a obrovská chuť psát. Rychle získává nové přátele v rodině i mimo ni a usedlé a nudné Novoluní jejím příchodem viditelně ožívá.

      Emily Starrová se narodila s touhou psát a snem stát se spisovatelkou. Když přišla jako sirotek k příbuzným do Novoluní, pomáhalo jí psaní překonávat počáteční chvíle osamělosti. Kamarádi, které si tam získala, ale odcházejí studovat do Shrewsbury a staromódní upjatá teta Alžběta chce Emily dovolit studium pouze pod podmínkou, že psaní nechá. Ve Shrewsbury Emily zdolává svůj první stupínek na cestě za úspěchem. S přáteli – rozenou herečkou Ilsou, budoucím malířem Teddym a uličnickým Perrym, potenciálním právníkem –, svými kousky často rozvíří stojaté vody senzacechtivé školy. Dalším krokem po pomyslné alpské stezce k úspěchu je pro Emily otištění jejích prvních příspěvků v místních časopisech. Nedlouho po něm přichází nabídka obrovské šance a Emily stojí před rozhodnutím, jestli navždy změní svůj život… A postupně dozrává z dívky v ženu.

      Emily, která vyrostla u své přísné tety v Novoluní, vyšla ze školy a vstupuje do života přesvědčená o dvou věcech – že bude slavná spisovatelka a že je její osud spojen s osudem Teddyho Kenta.Její přátelé Ilsa Burnleyová, Perry Miller a Teddy Kent jeden po druhém odcházejí do světa dál studovat a pokračovat v cestě za svým snem. Emily odmítla nabídku spisovatelské kariéry v New Yorku a rozhodla se zůstat v milovaném Novoluní, a i když jí přátelé chybějí, cítí, že její cesta spisovatelky bude spíše osamělá. Ilsa, Teddy a Perry se vracejí domů jen sporadicky a po každém jejich návratu má Emily čím dál silnější pocit, že se jí víc a víc vzdalují, zvlášť Teddy.I když ji to trápí, své emoce skrývá až do té míry, že ji okolí vnímá jako chladnou a povýšenou. I přesto dostává nabídky k sňatku a odmítá jak poněkud absurdní žádosti o ruku, tak zaručeně „dobré partie“. O to usilovněji se vrhá do práce na povídkách a posléze na své první knize. Ta však nenachází nakladatele a Emily ztrácí sebedůvěru i víru v Teddyho náklonnost a rozhodne se vzdát se psaní a provdat se za muže, kterého nemiluje.Jenže hodnoty a cit nelze jen tak obrátit naruby.

      Pat of Silver Bush (1933) is a novel written by Lucy Maud Montgomery, noted for her Anne of Green Gables series. The protagonist, Patricia Gardiner (called Pat), hates change of any kind and loves her home, Silver Bush, more than anything else in the world. She is very devoted to her family: her father and mother, her brothers Joe and Sid, and her sisters Winnie and Rachel (who everyone in the family calls Cuddles). The book begins when Pat is 7 years old and ends when she is 18. Throughout the text, various members of Pat's family are lost from Silver Bush (Aunt Hazel to marriage, Joe to life as a sailor, and Winnie to marriage). Pat is sustained through these losses due to her enduring love for her home. She is "unlike other children" and has few close friends. She maintains a strong friendship with Hilary "Jingle" Gordon, and later befriends Elizabeth "Bets" Wilcox, who eventually dies of the flu. Like most of Montgomery's texts, Pat is a domestic tale. Unlike Anne Shirley or Emily Starr, the only other Montgomery heroines whose stories are told in multiple texts, Pat is not ambitious nor a writer. She also has a conventional family and home life, unlike the others, who are orphans. The book's sequel, Mistress Pat, describes her later years.

In these final glimpses of characters known the world over, Montgomery offers readers a parting gift, a final farewell from herself, and from Anne.
