Anne of Windy Poplars - L.M. Montgomery - Bookniverse

New town. New job. A whole family determined to see her fail. Anne of Windy Poplars is a heartwarming story about courage, kindness, and standing up for oneself. Spirited Anne Shirley arrives in Summerside as its youngest-ever school principal — only to discover the powerful Pringle family has vowed to drive her away. Can Anne turn her enemies into allies?****************************The mind behind this story was Lucy Maud Montgomery, born in Canada in 1874. Raised by her strict grandparents in a rural community, Montgomery spent a lonely childhood finding comfort in the stunning natural landscapes, her own wild imagination, and poetry. Like her famous heroine in the beloved Anne of Green Gables series, she worked as a schoolteacher in various island villages before devoting herself to writing. Published in 1936, decades after readers first fell in love with Anne, this novel lets Montgomery revisit her most famous character with fresh warmth and gentle humour.
