L M Montgomery, PAT OF SILVER BUSH, (Silver Bush #1) The Author of the Anne Shirley Series

Pat lived on Prince Edward Island on a farm called Silver Bush. There was her dad, mom, aunt, sister, 2 brothers and Judy Plum. Judy Plum was the old Irish housekeeper that had been at Silver Bush since before Pat’s father was born. Little Pat loved everything just the way it was. Her love for everything ran so deep she simply couldn’t abide any change. Even the smallest change tore at her heart. So imagine Pat’s anguish when Judy Plum announced to her that she would be looking in the Parsley Bed to see if there might be a “wee tiny new baby in there.” And so, with the arrival of a new baby, everything started to change.
