Anne Shirley, now a schoolteacher, has begun writing stories and collecting rejection slips. She makes the acquaintance of a handsome, rich, bachelor, chases a bunny, also wins (for her chagrin) a baking-soda company's writing contest. She refuses Gilbert Blythe's marriage proposal, also acts as Diana's maid of honour. Which sends her to show Kingsport Ladies' College, a private girls school, where she meets resistance from a number of those teachers, Miss Brooke, and the Pringle clan (one of whom is a rich, handsome mentor ). However, while Anne likes the struggle, and also the friends she makes, she returns to Avonlea.
