I've had this book or item on my mental To Be Read (TBR) list for quite some time now.

It has been lingering in the back of my mind, constantly piquing my interest and making me curious to explore it further.

However, I never seemed to find the right moment or had the motivation to actually add it to my physical or actual TBR list.

But today, I've finally decided to take the plunge and add it.

I'm excited to have it officially on my list, as it means that I'm one step closer to experiencing whatever it has to offer.

Whether it's a thrilling novel, an informative non-fiction piece, or something else entirely, I can't wait to delve into it and see where it takes me.

I'm sure it'll be a great addition to my reading collection and will provide me with many hours of enjoyment and learning.

Rebecca's life takes a significant turn when her father passes away. Her mother, burdened with seven children and a farm, can no longer manage on her own. As a result, Rebecca is sent to live with her two maiden aunts in the brick house in town.

In town, Rebecca enrolls in school and receives an excellent education under the guidance of an influential teacher. She also makes friends with a rich benefactor and an elderly couple. All of these people - the aunts, the teacher, the rich man, and the elderly couple - have a profound and positive impact on her life.

I was truly captivated by this story. I had anticipated something overly sentimental, but it was far from that. Rebecca is a believable character who comes from a humble background and blossoms into a charming and resilient young woman.

The story is filled with wonderful quotes that offer valuable insights. For example, the quote about becoming sensible of oneness with the Divine heart before feeling separation emphasizes the importance of a child's spiritual connection. The description of the pebbles in the pool teaches us that growth and beauty often come from facing challenges and difficulties. And the reminder that no talent is wasted unless we choose to hide it encourages us to embrace and share our gifts.

Overall, this story is a beautiful and inspiring tale of a young girl's journey of self-discovery and growth. It reminds us that even in the face of adversity, we can find strength and beauty in the people and experiences around us.

Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm by Kate Douglas Wiggen is truly a heartwarming book that appeals to people of all ages.

This wonderful story centers around a charming little girl named Rebecca. She is dispatched to her two aunts’ residence with the intention of becoming a proper young lady. However, Rebecca is a lively and spirited girl. She runs around, often getting into trouble despite her earnest efforts to please her aunt Miranda. Along the way, she makes some great friends.

She is a girl with a strong will and is willing to do just about anything to assist her friends. She forms a deep friendship with a man and gradually matures as she grows older.

I have an absolute love for this book. It has the remarkable ability to transport the reader back in time. I felt as if I was right there with Rebecca throughout her life's journey, experiencing her sadness, pain, happiness, and curiosity.

The plot is engaging, and I liked how it didn't remain stagnant in one particular area for the entire duration of the book. This added an element of excitement. I adored Rebecca’s best friend, Emma Jane, and her unwavering love and loyalty towards Rebecca. Adam Ladd, another good friend of Rebecca's, was also a likable character.

Although I wish I could have known what transpired after Rebecca returned to the house at the end of the book, overall, it was an excellent read that I thoroughly enjoyed.

This book was on our bookshelf when I was growing up.

Although I've always been an avid reader, curiously, I don't remember ever perusing its pages.

What intrigues me the most about this book is that it was penned in 1903. Thereby, it offers a fascinating window into the societal norms and values prevalent during that era.

Unlike newly written books about earlier periods that often inadvertently carry contemporary views into past situations, this book provides a more authentic glimpse into the past.

It's a charming coming-of-age story about Rebecca. Her father has passed away, and her mother is valiantly struggling to keep the farm and the family intact.

Her two spinster aunts, who live in a larger nearby town, selflessly volunteer to raise Rebecca and provide her with an education and opportunities that she would not have had at home.

Rebecca is a lively and mischievous child. Try as she may to be good, she constantly finds herself in trouble.

Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm is somewhat similar to Anne of Green Gables. However, in my opinion, Green Gables was better written.

It took me a while to finish reading this book. Towards the end, it tended to drag a bit. But overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this sweet and heartwarming story!
