Emily: Girl of the New Moon, by: Lucy Maud Montgomery

Wherever Emily Star arrived, her gaze looked up to the sky searching for a passing cloud, a smiling sun, a star shining with hope, a new moon reminding her of the thrill of beginnings and the renewal of life's taste. The girl grew up in the embrace of her gentle father, then fate willed to take her to the New Moon farm where she would start a new life among the Murray family. There, Emily would accompany her in her early childhood discoveries, discoveries that scratched her innocence and took some of the colors from her world; but Emily refused to let them go without trying to regain them through writing, for it was her only weapon to comfort herself and resist the pain of loneliness. Writing was her refuge, her lifeline, and her artery of life. How could she, without writing, talk about her wonderful adventures with her friends who gave her life in "The New Moon" meaning and sparkle? And how could she, without her poetry, describe what her eyes absorbed from the magic of the vast universe? And how could she, without her pen, address her parents, breaking the rules of time and space, life and death? That is Emily, a girl who breaks the norm, openly expresses her opinions, and does not bow to injustice, nor apologize for what she is. The world addresses Emily, and she responds to the call, shaping it in her hands until words turn into something she writes on every piece of paper she finds, accumulating stories and tales, paving her way toward a promising literary journey.
