Kilmeny of the Orchard

A sweet and moving romance from the author of the beloved Anne of Green Gables series! Eric Marshall is all that a well brought-up young man should be.

Handsome, steadfast, and full of ambition, he is expected to expand the Marshall&Company empire and to marry a woman suitable to replace his mother in Nova Scotias finest circles. Eric has a bright future in the family business and has taken the two-month teaching post on Prince Edward Island only as a favor to a sick friend.

• Mute since birth, she lives sequestered at home with her aunt and uncle who the town considers odd.
• Soon after that first meeting, a friendship between the two begins to bloom towards love.

Then fate, which has been more than generous to Eric, throws in his path a beautiful, mysterious girl named Kilmeny Gordon.
