The final book in the Anne of Green Gables series is the story of Anne's youngest daughter, Bertha Marilla, affectionately known as Rilla, and the upheaval she experiences as the First World War commences.
At fourteen, Rilla is a spirited and dreamy teenager, more interested in her first dance and hoping for her first kiss than the world beyond her doorstep. However, her carefree days at Ingleside are abruptly changed when her brothers go off to fight in the Great War, leaving behind a void and a sense of responsibility she had never anticipated.
Rilla's life takes an unexpected turn when she encounters an orphaned child in desperate need of care and a loving home. As she steps up to the challenge, Rilla's journey mirrors the early years of her mother, Anne, showing her growth from a dreamy girl to a mature and compassionate young woman.
