"A bosom friend... a really kindred spirit to whom I can confide my innermost soul. I've dreamed of meeting her all my life." -L. M. Montgomery Anne of Green Gables Lucy Maud Montgomery's childhood had much in common with her iconic heroine Anne Shirley. Her mother died when Maud was just 21 months old, and she was sent to live with her grandparents on Prince Edward Island. These early years of her life were quite solitary, so she created imaginary friends to cope with her loneliness. Montgomery credited this time of her life with developing her creativity. "Kindred Spirits" imagines the young future author joyfully romping around Prince Edward Island with her imaginary friend Anne Shirley. Kindred Spirits is available as a pre-publication release, available for immediate performance. Music is print ready, though cover art and front matter are currently not included.
