Thank you Sarah McCoy for writing this! I have also wondered about “what happened” and your version does honor Avonlea. I really enjoyed this telling of Marilla and Matthew and a young Rachael Lynne.

I had this book on the TBR shelf for awhile and it was a nice easy read, let me down at the end a bit. I thought it would get to be a little more sinister, but the background to the island was very well described!

This book uses historical fiction and modern day fiction blended together to tell a beautiful story of two women who's lives connect through an unexpected doll's head found in the cellar of a home. It is fascinating how Sarah McCoy weaves the stories together to tell the story of a very famous event in history... the Harper's Ferry Incident... to bring us face to face with the daughter of John Brown, Sarah, and her quiet but poignant story in the history of our nation. I don't want to give too much away but if you love historical fiction as well as stories with great characters and stories that are messy and imperfect like real life then this is a great read for you. It is not all tied up in a pretty perfect package. It is real people living with hard things and they don't always make the best decisions along the way but there is healing and reconciliation and resolution in surprising ways.… (more)

Prepare to be swept away to the private and exotic Mustique Island in the Caribbean. The story is set in the 70’s, however, the warmth and depth of the writing and storyline this could have been written in multiple eras.
A mother’s love will always remain, no matter the circumstances or the age and differences of their children.
Tender, tenacious and filled with vivid imagery, this is a must read to take you away this summer.
