A celebrated Anne of Green Gables classic.
Sneak Peak ‘At Christmas the college boys and girls came home and for a little while Ingleside was gay again. But all were not there—for the first time one was missing from the circle round the Christmas table. Jem, of the steady lips and fearless eyes, was far away, and Rilla felt that the sight of his vacant chair was more than she could endure. Susan had taken a stubborn freak and insisted on setting out Jem's place for him as usual, with the twisted little napkin ring he had always had since a boy, and the odd, high Green Gables goblet that Aunt Marilla had once given him and from which he always insisted on drinking.

"That blessed boy shall have his place, Mrs. Dr. dear," said Susan firmly, "and do not you feel over it, for you may be sure he is here in spirit and next Christmas he will be here in the body. Wait you till the Big Push comes in the spring and the war will be over in a jiffy."’
Synopsis Rilla of Ingleside is the eighth of nine books in the Anne of Green Gables series by L.M. Montgomery. The story is centered around a single character, Anne and Gilbert's youngest daughter Bertha Marilla "Rilla" Blythe. It takes place during World War I giving it a more serious tone. The three Blythe boys—Jem, Walter, and Shirley—along with Rilla's sweetheart Ken Ford, playmates Jerry Meredith and Carl Meredith—end up fighting in Europe with the Canadian Expeditionary Force.
Europe is on the brink of the First World War, and Anne's youngest daughter Rilla is an irrepressible almost-15-year-old, excited about her first adult party and has no plans beyond attending her first dance at the Four Winds lighthouse with the handsome Kenneth Ford. But when the world of Ingleside is threatened by the distant war, the unstoppable Rilla faces challenges she never expected. Rilla brings home an orphaned baby in a soup tureen while her brothers are at war. This drama tests her bravery and alters her life forever.
