Remember Anne of Green Gables, the orphan girl sent to aging brother & sister who wanted a boy to help? This prequel tells her story in the years before, her experiences that formed the person she became. Orphaned at 3 months, taken in by one family & then another who needed her to help with their other children, and then sent to an orphanage when the second woman lost her husband, too. How did she develop such a love for words? Why did she develop imaginary friends? How did she cope with the institutional rules of the orphanage?
This author has researched all the "Anne" books as well as L.M. Montgomery's journals to tell the tale in a voice equivalent to the original author. If you remember Anne from her earlier stories, this is a must read.
