As an orphan living on New Moon Farm, writing helped her face the difficult, lonely times. But now all her friends are going away to high school in nearby Shrewsbury, and her old-fashioned, tyrannical aunt Elizabeth will only let her go if she promises to stop writng! All the same, this is the first step in Emily's climb to success. Once in town, Emily's activities set the Shrewsbury gossips buzzing. But Emily and her friends are confident -- Ilse's a born actress, Teddy's set to be a great artist, and roguish Perry has the makings of a brilliant lawyer. When Emily has her poems published and writes for the town newspaper, success seems to be on its way -- and with it the first whispers of romance. Then Emily is offered a fabulous opportunity, and she must decide if she wants to change her life forever. 340031 1925 Emily Climbs (Emily Book 2) total:2377|5:871|4:897|3:517|2:81|1:11| 2377 9667 2860 82 5 2 false false Thu Mar 13 08:02:48 -0700 2008 Sat Jun 21 11:48:12 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 2 false false Wed Feb 20 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Mon Feb 25 20:46:28 -0800 2008 Mon Feb 25 20:51:47 -0800 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Wed Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1997 Mon Sep 07 17:47:17 -0700 2009 Mon Sep 07 18:30:48 -0700 2009 3 more...]]> 3 1 false false Thu Aug 20 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Jul 20 19:03:30 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 20 12:19:46 -0700 2009
