Anne's children were almost grown up, except for pretty, high-spirited
Rilla. No one could resist her bright hazel eyes and dazzling smile.
Rilla, almost fifteen, can't think any further ahead than going to her
very first dance at the Four Winds lighthouse and getting her first kiss
from handsome
Kenneth Ford. But undreamed-of challenges await the irrepressible Rilla
when the world of Ingleside becomes endangered by a far-off war. Her
brothers go off to fight, and Rilla brings home an orphaned newborn in a
soup tureen. She is swept into a drama that tests her courage and leaves
her changed forever.
