      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.

    • A young April wind, as fresh and sweet as if it had been blowing over the fields of memory instead of through dingy streets, was purring in the tree-tops and whipping the loose tendrils of the ivy network which covered the front of the main building. It was a wind that sang of many things, but what it sang to each listener was only what was in that listener's heart. To the college students who had just been capped and diplomad by "Old Charlie," the grave president of Queenslea, in the presence of an admiring throng of parents and sisters, sweethearts and friends, it sang, perchance, of glad hope and shining success and high achievement. It sang of the dreams of youth that may never be quite fulfilled, but are well worth the dreaming for all that. God help the man who has never known such dreams-who, as he leaves his alma mater, is not already rich in aerial castles, the proprietor of many a spacious estate in Spain. He has missed his birthright.

      For Anne and Gilbert Blythe, life in a small village is never dull because of all the entertaining gossip, and what strange and funny tales they hear: about the mischievous twins whose dearest wish comes true when they meet up with a bored and haunted millionaire; or clever Penelope Craig, who considers herself an expert on children -- until she adopts a boy of her own; or Timothy Randebush, a man so eager to keep his brother out of the clutches of a dangerous woman that he spirits her away -- only to fall prey to her charms himself. Filled with unexpected surprises, laughter, and tears, here are fourteen of the Blythes' favorite tales.

      With an Afterword by Elizabeth Rollins Epperly L.M. Montgomery won the world over with the young, tenacious Anne and her adventures. Now, in the last book she completed shortly before her death in 1942, we remember the beloved author and her enduring literary legacy. Edited and introduced by Benjamin Lefebvre, this final book consists of Montgomery’s final sequel to her internationally bestselling Anne of Green Gables. In an unusual twist to her writing style, Montgomery employs a mix of stories, poems, and vignettes, not telling one particular narrative but instead presenting snapshots of new and familiar residents of Glen St. Mary, of Anne and her family, and of their discussions around the poems composed by Anne and later by her son Walter. In these final glimpses of characters known the world over, Montgomery offers readers a parting gift, a final farewell from herself, and from Anne.
