Description: While her beloved fictional characters inhabited a world where love and community could overcome most tribulations, Lucy Maud Montgomery's own life was marked by inescapable grief and loneliness. Raised virtually as an orphan by grandparents unable to give her much affection, Montgomery was nevertheless an optimistic and enthusiastic young woman, able to delight in her literary success and in the company of her wider family and friens.
