L. M. Montgomery’s The Blue Castle is a warm, witty and deeply moving novel about courage, independence and the unexpected possibility of beginning again.
At twenty-nine, Valancy Stirling has spent her life doing exactly what is expected of her. Surrounded by a domineering family and trapped in a narrow, joyless existence, she escapes only in her imagination-to a beautiful place she calls the Blue Castle.

Then a devastating medical diagnosis changes everything.

Believing she has only a short time left to live, Valancy decides to stop being afraid. She speaks her mind, leaves her family home, befriends the people society has rejected-and makes a decision that shocks everyone who thought they knew her.
