Lucy Maud Montgomery, creator of the storybook hero Anne of Green Gables, may have been as spirited as her red-haired protagonist, but her life was not as romantic. This elegant collection of biographical essays, photographs and journal entries portrays a contemplative young woman struggling with issues of faith and identity as she grew up in Canada during the late 1800s.
