## Resource

The Revelations of the Heart In this final installment of the Redmond years, the dust of graduation settles only to reveal the true landscape of Anne's future. Chapter 39: Deals with Weddings The season of change continues as Anne attends the wedding of her dear friend Phil Gordon to the poor minister, Jo Blake. Seeing Phil's radiant happiness in a life of simplicity forces Anne to re-evaluate her own ideas of success and romance. Back at home, life in Avonlea moves forward as Diana Wright welcomes a new addition to her family, further signaling the end of their girlhood. Chapter 40: A Book of Revelation A dark shadow falls over Avonlea when news arrives that Gilbert Blythe is deathly ill with typhoid fever. In a night of agonizing soul-searching, Anne experiences a book of revelation of her own. Stripped of her pride and her ideal fancies, she finally realizes that the love she's been searching for hasn't been in a storybook, it's been standing right beside her all along. Chapter 41: Love Takes Up the Glass of Time The air clears as Gilbert begins the slow road to recovery. In the quiet, sun-drenched beauty of Hester Gray's garden, the two old friends, now much wiser, finally find the words that have been left unsaid for years. The island years conclude not with a goodbye, but with a beautiful, long-awaited beginning.
