Anne of Avonlea
L.M. Montgomery
Various Editions

Like the first Anne book, Anne of Green Gables, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this book. And though many think these books sentimental mush, I seemed to garner a lot from reading them.

They teach me to see God in new and exciting ways – to see God more in Nature and the world around me that He has created – to look for the best in all people I meet, especially those who are hard to like, such as Mrs. Rachael Lynd and Mr. Harrison. We have to learn to see past the exterior to see the person inside.
