Orpotyttö Anna Shirley, jonka tapasimme ensimmäisen kerran jo Annan nuoruusvuosissa, on yhä oma eläväinen ja neuvokas, punahiuksinen itsensä tässä kirjasarjan kolmannessa osassa Annan unelmavuodet. Nyt hän on kuitenkin matkalla kohti aikuisempia haasteita.Kolmannessa kirjassa Anna jättää opetustyönsä ja Avonlean pikkukylän jatkaakseen opintojaan Kingsportissa. Myös Annan ystävät, kuten Annaan toivottoman rakastunut Gilbert Blythe, tulevat Kingsportiin.Anna saa myös uusia ystäviä, kuten avarakatseisen ja kauniin Philippa Gordonin, kutsumanimeltään Philin. Gilbert ehdottaa Annalle läheisempää suhdetta, mutta Anna torjuu tämän. Annalla on nimittäin myös toinen ihailija – hän on pitkä, tumma ja komea. Mutta onko hän oikea valinta Annalle? Ei ole liioittelua sanoa, että Anna on yhtäkkiä tunteidensa vallassa – täysin uudella elämänalueella. Päättyykö tämä kaikki lopulta kihlaukseen?Lucy Maud Montgomery (1874–1942) – tai L. M. Montgomery, kuten hän itse itseään suosituimpien kirjojensa kansissa nimitti – tuli tunnetuksi kotimaansa rajojen ulkopuolella jo ensimmäisen, Annan nuoruusvuodet -nimisen kirjansa myötä. Tuosta lähtien Montgomeryn kirjoja on luettu ja rakastettu läpi sukupolvien. Kirjailijan äiti kuoli Montgomeryn ollessa pieni, ja isänsä tahdosta L. M. Montgomery varttui isovanhempiensa hoivissa. Myöhemmin Montgomery kouluttautui opettajaksi ja aloitti uransa kirjailijana kirjoittaen yhteensä 20 romaania, 530 novellia, 500 runoa ja 30 esseetä.
Orpotyttö Anna Shirley, jonka tunnemme Annan nuoruusvuosista, on matkalla opettajaksi. Hän aikoo opettaa koulussa Avonleassa, ja kotona hän jatkaa opintojaan seuranaan Gilbert, joka opettaa läheisessä koulussa. Matkan aikana Anna kasvaa hieman kypsemmäksi, mutta sisimmässään hän on yhä sama eläväinen ja kekseliäs, punahiuksinen tyttö – esimerkiksi aikoessaan myydä naapurinsa lehmän.Tapaamme muun muassa Annan uuden ja ongelmallisen naapurin herra Harrisonin papukaijoineen, sekä kaksoset Davyn ja Doran, joista Anna päättää pitää huolta näiden äidin kuoleman jälkeen. Anna kohtaa sekä iloja että haasteita toimiessaan opettajana ja ottaessaan osaa Davyn ja Doran kasvatukseen. Dora on sievä tyttö, kun taas Davy on hänen täysi vastakohtansa – ehkä he siis muistuttavat yhdessä Annaa.Lucy Maud Montgomery (1874–1942) – tai L. M.
