About this ebook

A young woman breaks free from her stifling home in search of love and freedom in this novel by the author of Anne of Green Gables.

Considered a spinster at the age of twenty-nine, Valancy Stirling believes she is destined to live out her days in rural Ontario with her domineering mother and aunt. She finds momentary escape in the books of her favorite author and fantasies of a “Blue Castle” where all her wishes come true. But when devastating news arrives from her doctor, Valancy decides to finally say and do exactly what she wants.

Though her family thinks she has gone mad, Valancy embarks on an adventure of discovery. Her newfound independence leads her to a world where anything is possible—even love. But is her new life just another illusion, or has she truly found the Blue Castle of her dreams?
