this is the first time I have read this book and I am so glad I found it. I can't wait to continue on to book 2. worthwhile read and one that you will not forget.

If you like Anne of Green Gables or Pollyanna, you will be sure to like Rebecca. Although this book has many similarities to these novels, something about the writing is quite different. Well worth listening to.

Beautiful story of Rebecca. Every woman and girl should have this in their collection. It tells of poverty and benevolant wealth, sorrow and happiness, childhood and adulthood, and the general course of life. Well worth listening to. Thank you readers!
