Anne of Green Gables

Anne came into my life at a much needed time. The same day I purchased the book, I was let go from my job of nine years. As devastating as it was to be terminated and be thrown into the uncertain world of unemployment, my life didn't seem nearly as bad as what poor Anne had been through. Her optimism and deep inner strength helped me find my own and she was a much needed companion in one of the bleakest times of my life. The story is magnificently written, and the old ways of speech were a delight to stretch my mind around. In a world full of lol's and ikr's; it was a breath of fresh air to read full, descriptive sentences. I will be tracking down the rest of this series for sure!
