The first book in the charming series is marvelous. It's heart-wrenching. I won't reveal the entire plot, but the story starts off with an orphaned girl who really wasn't supposed to be adopted.

Her life from that mistake though, is forever changed.

While some people mock this book for how Anne imagines things wildly, I highly suggest giving this book a chance. There's a reason why there are so many avid readers of this series.
