Emily's Quest (Version 2)

After finishing school, Emily Starr returns to New Moon, her beloved family farm, ready to pursue her dreams of becoming a writer. But the world she knew is dissolving. Her closest friends are scattering across the globe, marrying, building lives that no longer include her the way they once did. As Emily climbs what she calls "the Alpine path" toward literary success, she faces the ache of watching everything familiar slip away. Several suitors seek her hand, but Emily's fierce Murray pride and unwavering commitment to her art create obstacles she cannot easily overcome. The question becomes: can she find room in her life for both love and her calling? Montgomery captures the particular grief of young adulthood - that moment when you realize the people and places that shaped you are moving on without you. Emily's Quest is for anyone who has felt the pain of outgrowing their old self while mourning what was left behind.
