"Anne of Green Gables" by Lucy Maud Montgomery
Published in June, 1908
Project Gutenberg Ebook edition

An imaginative orphan is unexpectedly adopted into a quiet rural community, where her vivid inner life and stubborn spirit gradually transform the people around her.

Chapter 4-8
00:30 4 Anne wakes up cheerful but resigned to leaving. Despite Matthew’s subtle hints, Marilla remains firm and drives Anne away to return her.
18:50 5 Anne recounts her difficult past while traveling. Impressed by her spirit and resilience, Marilla begins rethinking her decision to return the girl.
48:14 6 To rescue Anne from the cruel Mrs. Blewett, Marilla decides to keep her at Green Gables as an "experiment," provided Matthew lets her handle the child’s upbringing.
48:14 7 Shocked by Anne’s lack of prayer, Marilla allows a quirky first attempt. Labeling her a "heathen," Marilla remains committed to raising Anne at Green Gables.
48:14 8 Marilla officially tells Anne she can stay. Anne contemplates a religious painting, dreams of a "bosom friend" in Diana Barry, and chooses her new reality over her romantic imaginings.

Characters
Anne Shirley - A thin, red-haired orphan with an incredibly vivid imagination and a "tongue fastened at one end." Overjoyed to finally have a home, unaware that it has been a major mistake
Matthew Cuthbert - A shy, awkward sixty-year-old bachelor who lives at Green Gables. Though he is terrified of women and girls, he finds himself strangely charmed by Anne
Marilla Cuthbert - Matthew’s sister. She is tall, thin, with a strict sense of duty. While Matthew is the heart of the duo, Marilla is the logic. She is the one who ultimately has to decide what to do about adopting Anne by mistake
Rachel Lynde - The town gossip and "notable" busybody, she represents the judgmental social standards of Avonlea
Alexander Spencer - She is the "middleman" whose misunderstanding of the Cuthberts' request led to Anne being brought to Prince Edward Island instead of a boy
