When Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert decide to take in foster child Anne instead of a boy as they requested, it's with the hope that they can do her some good. As Anne comes of age, her curiosity, imagination, and capacity for love teaches all three of them what it means to create and commit to family. Adapted freely from the classic by L.M. Montgomery.
