Anne of Green Gables Collection, Book 8

Anne Blythe’s youngest high-spirited daughter, 15-year-old Rilla, captures in her diary, the poignant story of how WWI affected the lives of the people of Glen St Mary, Canada. The premonition of Walter, Rilla’s brother-of the Piped Piper coming down the rainbow valley with a shadowy host behind him, came true, when news of the war was announced. Soon, every able-bodied man-young and old volunteered. How many would return?

“Walter died for Canada-I must live for her. That is what he asked me to do.” Rilla wrote in her diary.

Will Rilla keep her promise not to kiss another man until Kenneth Ford returns from war? How long and why did Dog Monday wait at Glen railway station,
refusing to return to Ingleside? Whose dirge was he howling?

Gilbert Blythe and Anne Shirley Cuthbert marry and move to into their new house-“Anne’s House of Dreams,” as they lovingly name it. The first glimpse of Anne’s new home was a delight to the eye and spirit-it looked like a big, creamy seashell stranded on the harbour shore.

She was the perfect wife and homemaker and soon converted the little white house into a home–the home to many a beautiful friendship-Captain Jim, Cornelia Bryant, Leslie Moore, and Owen Ford-became a vital part of this house of dreams.

What dreams would this house fulfil or not fulfil for them and their friends?

 

Life and a dismal last name are the only two things Beyah Grim's parents ever gave her. After carving her path all on her own, Beyah is well on her way to bigger and better things, thanks to no one but herself. With only two short months separating her from the future she's built and the past she desperately wants to leave behind, an unexpected death leaves Beyah with no place to go during the interim. Forced to reach out to her last resort, Beyah has to spend the remainder of her summer on a peninsula in Texas with a father she barely knows. Beyah's plan is to keep her head down and let the summer slip by seamlessly, but her new neighbor Samson throws a wrench in that plan. Samson and Beyah have nothing in common on the surface. She comes from a life of poverty and neglect; he comes from a family of wealth and privilege. But one thing they do have in common is that they're both drawn to sad things. Which means they're drawn to each other. With an almost immediate connection too intense for them to continue denying, Beyah and Samson agree to stay in the shallow end of a summer fling. What Beyah doesn't realize is that a rip current is coming, and it's about to drag her heart out to sea.
