Welcome back to the world of Anne and her college friends! In this episode, "Adjusted Relationships," the girls have finally settled into the beloved Patty's Place, finding it the "homiest spot" they had ever seen. Three weeks after their return to Redmond, the initial excitement of setting up house and adjusting differing opinions has proven the experiment a success. Anne, now an "experienced Soph" and relieved to be away from Avonlea's mixed reactions to her published prize story, is surrounded by her cohort—Priscilla, Stella, and Phil—all determined to enjoy their newfound independence. Yet, the process of adjustment is far from over, especially with the long-awaited arrival of the tolerant and delightfully old-fashioned Aunt Jamesina.

We return today to a story beloved by our listeners, Anne of the Island, written by the accomplished Canadian author, Lucy Maude Montgomery.  Anne Shirley has spent a restorative summer vacation, enjoying the suns and skies, deepening old friendships, and realizing that many life lessons are learned outside of college. However, just as she prepares to return to Redmond College, Anne's cherished ideals are put to the test in Chapter 15, "A Dream Turned Upside Down," when she receives a shocking letter regarding her creative work. The conflict arises when her devoted friend, Diana Barry, is found to be at blame for Anne's humiliation. This struggle between artistic purity and the practical need to earn "an honest penny" for board and tuition is a tension felt acutely by many writers of the era, and it is a poignant parallel to the author's own life: Lucy Maude Montgomery, who later became the first Canadian woman to join the Royal Society of Arts and Letters, had to work in secret early in her career because her family considered writing a waste of time for a woman.
