After her motherâs health declines and money grows tight, Y/N is sent to Avonlea to live with distant relatives (The Cuthberts, who are very loving and kind, they show much compassion, but they are strict) who can give her stability she no longer has. Whatâs meant to be temporary quickly becomes permanent, leaving her caught between gratitude for safety and grief for the life she was forced to leave behind. When Y/N arrives in Avonlea at sixteenâsunlight-haired, sharp-tongued, and carrying more history than she lets onâshe is not what anyone expects. She talks too much, feels too deeply, and refuses to make herself smaller for the comfort of others. Y/N has already learned how the world can harden around girls who take up space.
