Anne of Ingleside is the sixth book in the series, and takes place a decade after the last book, Anne's House of Dreams. The focus is placed on Anne who, the mother of five precocious children, is pregnant with her sixth child.
The spirit has never been more lively at Ingleside, and with the intolerable Aunt Mary Maria visiting, Anne is just teeming with activities! Throughout the book, Anne helps deal with her budding children's everyday obstacles (ie. Jem's consistent yearning for a dog). As the story advances, there is a crisis in addition to Anne's life, for she worries that Gilbert no longer cares for her. She does not understand how this is possible, for she is the same exuberant, little red head of Anne of Green Gables! Refusing to settle for less, Anne puts forth her determination to convince Gilbert that she is worthy of his affections!

Quote: "How white the moonlight is tonight!" said Anne Blythe to herself, as she went up the walk of the Wright garden to Diana Wright's front door, where little cherry blossom petals were coming down on the salty, breeze-stirred air.
