Rilla of Ingleside

Anne Blythe's children have grown so much since their days in Rainbow Valley. Except for the youngest, beautiful, frivolous, Rilla-my-Rilla. No one can resist her bright hazel eyes and dazzling smile. Maybe it's gone to her head a little. Maybe she's a little bit vain. Maybe she's a little spoiled. So what? She's young, life is ahead of her, and she's about to experience her very first dance at the Four Winds lighthouse with her childhood crush, Kenneth Ford. Is it wrong to hope for her first kiss as well? Rilla's magical night is interrupted by news of an assassination somewhere too far away to matter and declarations of war. Little does Rilla know just how personal that war is about to become. One by one, her brothers leave for faraway places that suddenly matter very much to fight for Canada, and then Kenneth Ford answers the call. Nothing will ever be the same again. Rilla, along with the whole world, is swept into a conflict that will test Rilla's courage and change her life forever
