Fiction about a girl beginning again at a new job in a rural community, possibly set in New England? Not sure, but she befriends a loner who lives in the surrounding woods. I read it in the 90's, if that helps. ???

Not much to go on, but The Witch of Blackbird Pond? It matches what you posted though.

It's set in the 1600s. The main character moves to a Puritan community in Connecticut to live with her aunt and uncle. She teaches (new job?) and befriends a Quaker who is an outcast from the Puritan community.

Rosemary's Witch?

After moving into an old house in a small New England town, 9-year-old Rosemary discovers that the nearby woods conceal a 150-year-old witch, who once lived in the house and is using her magic to take it back.

Christine, is the girl a child, teenager, or adult? Is this aimed at kids, YA, or adult readers?

Is the loner female or male?

Duuude, isn't that the Spitfire Grill? I think we might have watched it when we were housemates in Buttonwoods. :D It wasn't based on a book so that may be why you can't find it.

Christine, are you still looking for this or did you find it?
