"A woman must learn to take responsibility for her own dreams in this heartfelt novel inspired
by Anne of Green Gables by New York Times bestselling author Virginia Kantra. Anne Gallagher
believes in love-the kind of love that exists in fairy tales and romance novels and-most of
all-in her favorite book of all time Anne of Green Gables. Growing up on isolated Mackinac
Island Michigan she imagined herself as Anne Shirley. There's the name right? And her hair
is red-well reddish. And while Mackinac is no Prince Edward Island it does have a tiny island
school and horse-drawn carriages on a main street lined with Victorian houses. She dreams of
becoming a teacher and a writer just like her fictional role model. Everything is falling into
place for Anne who is getting ready to graduate from Northwestern University and has already
lined up a job at a pricey private school north of Chicago. She's also dating her very own
Gilbert Blythe-a selfless medical resident named Chris whose rich family used to vacation on
Mackinac in the summers. But then Anne's beloved father dies from a heart attack while working
on a roof and a dispute with her new principal leads to a leave of absence. Now she must
return home to Mackinac which means confronting all the strained relationships she left
behind. With nothing but time back on the island known for its beauty and charm Anne has a
chance to reconsider her decisions and decide for herself what she wants out of life.."--
