ANNE OF THE ISLAND (CHAP 14) THE SUMMONS

Join us for Chapter XIV, "The Summons," from L.M. Montgomery's beloved novel, Anne of the Island.  As the summer's splendor wanes and the world is full of hazes, Anne dedicates her evenings to her friend Ruby Gillis, who is growing paler and struggling with what Anne perceives as an invisible foe.  Anne senses that Ruby needs help—craves it—and she wants to give it to her and can't. In a pivotal, moonlit vigil, the conversation shifts from light chatter to a harrowing confession as Ruby admits she is afraid to die, not because she fears heaven itself, but because it won't be what she has been used to.  This profound discussion forces Anne to wrestle with her own ideas about the great mysteries of life and eternity, realizing that her life must take on a deeper purpose.  Tune in to discover how this event, which Anne realizes will change her forever, culminates in a final summons that might not be disregarded or evaded in Avonlea.
