FROM SARAH:

Emily is rumored to be Lucy Maud Montgomery's favorite character of all of the ones she wrote! Rich with the rhythms of nature and the trials of growing up, this novel is a celebration of resilience and courage in the face of great loss. Head's up that it deals heavily with the death of a parent.

FROM PUBLISHER:

Emily Starr has never known what it is to be unloved. But when her father dies, she is left in the care of her mother's family. Emily is a stranger to the proud Murrays, none of whom think they can cope with such a heartbroken, headstrong girl. They decide to draw lots for her, and Emily is sent to live at New Moon with stern Aunt Elizabeth, the head of the clan. Kind Aunt Laura and friendly, eccentric Cousin Jimmy also live at New Moon, though, so she is not without hope.
