Rilla is the daughter of "Anne of Green Gables"—a glowing, impetuous, fun-loving girl, in some ways unlike the young Anne Shirley of Green Gables days, yet endowed with the same eagerness, the same bubbling enthusiasm, the same warmness of heart.

At sixteen, a tip-toe with romance and eager for Life's experiences, Rilla finds herself plunged into the realities of 1914. How she faces the problems of the American girl at home in wartime—with the same courage that the young Anne had faced the less trying problems of her young womanhood—and how she is fitted for a happiness greater than her dreams, makes the story.
