Anne De Windy Poplars by L. M. Montgomery

A bright, imaginative young woman takes a position as principal in a small seaside town and spends three eventful years winning over suspicious townspeople, guiding students, and making warm friendships; much of the story unfolds through her cheerful, witty letters to her fiancé and through episodic scenes that show how her kindness, practical wisdom, and lively spirit transform a sometimes standoffish community while she anticipates marriage and reflects on home and belonging.
