Thanks everyone for the wonderful feedback. I'm so glad eveyone enjoyed it. This was a story that just took ahold of me and wouldn't let go until I wrote it. The Anne books were my very favorite growing up, and I still adore them. I'm surprised by the number of people who have never read the Anne books but still enjoyed the story. I'm glad there wasn't too much missing. I'm glad most people picked up on the title's symbolism, for those that haven't read the books, that's one of Anne's favorite phrases.
Thanks everyone for the encouragement and kind words. I hope this will hold you over for awhile since it's going to be a little while before I'm ready to post anything else. I'm afraid I've spoiled my readers by posting so many stories in the past few months and that y'all are going to desert me when I'm gone for awhile. <G>
