Sara Stanley is a wealthy child sent to stay with distant relatives on Prince Edward Island, when her father is accused of embezzlement. She finds the life on the small island a challenge, and getting to know her mother’s family is not much easier. At first Sara resents being in Avonlea. Her mother’s sister, Hetty King, resents Sara’s Nanny Louisa and sends her back to Montreal. Sara is left to live with her Aunt’s Hetty and Olivia in Rose Cottage. My favourite quote: ””As the eldest in the family, I’m used to making unpopular decisions.”” ~ Hetty King.
