In the quiet village of Avonlea, Adeline Darcy is being shaped into someone she never asked to become. At fourteen, her future is already planned: tight dresses, softer words, and a life built around pleasing a man she has not yet met.
Adeline is sharp, stubborn, and unwilling to shrink, though she has learned to endure in silence. As she grows, she must navigate fragile friendships, rigid expectations, and a fierce rivalry with Gilbert Blythe, a boy who challenges her in every way, and slowly becomes something far more dangerous than an enemy.
This is Adeline's story: of girlhood, resistance, and the difficult journey of becoming a woman on her own terms, not one made for a man.
