Emily Starr wants to be a famous writer and dreams that this will become a reality. She never imagines the difficulties she will go through to achieve it. A series of love misunderstandings leads to disappointments and emotional ups and downs as she sees her childhood friends growing distant from her and she loses confidence in her talent. Teddy Kent has always been her love and he decides to go to Montreal without her to become an artist. Emily's world falls apart and she takes refuge in her books and writings. She learns what the real life of a writer is.
This is the last novel in Emily's trilogy that from the beginning captures the young reader. The narrative is very good. The characters are unforgettable. The style is dramatic and humorous at the same time. A world of intense and fluctuating emotions typical of young people and artists is evident. There is a high dose of clean romance.
The Canadian author (1874-1942) considered Emily her alter ego. She wrote more than 25 books that have become classics of universal juvenile literature.
