No worries! 😄 If it's not cheating, you can change my answer to your signature. 😉
Meg's answer is Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm.

🤣Emma, that WOULD be cheating! But if you want, I can change it to Meg's answer, if that's what you think.

To change it to my hidden signature would be cheating. I just realized, though, that I didn't include Meg's answer in the recap. Thanks for pointing that out!

I want to say Mary Lennox in The Secret Garden written by Frances Hodgson Burnett, but that book is set in England, not New England. Burnett did move to the U.S. later, even though she was born in the U.K. I will stick with that answer though:
The Book: The Secret Garden
The Author: Frances Hodgson Burnett
Allyson wrote: "Dorothy!! I guessed Little Women by Louisa May Alcott before Emma changed her answer!!!😡"I'm so sorry. I thought you said you WOULD guess that if you didn't think it wasn't right. I'll add you to the recap.
Emma: That one poem by Longfellow (Evangeline) (Changed to Little Women by Louisa May Alcott.)Meg: Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm by Kate Douglas Wiggin
Allyson: Little Women by Louisa May Alcott
Pamela: The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett
Ruth: Sitting it out with a cup of coffee. Never mind what kind.
Hannah: ?
Doreen: MIA
Dorothy: _______________ _____________________
So we're just waiting on Hannah. HANNAH!!!!!📢
Oh dear, Dorothy! Like Pam, I can't think of anyone except those who are outside the US. The only one coming to my mind is Pippi Longstocking by Astrid Lindgren.

Thank you for changing mine Dorry. 😂Well, who's the winner???
Figures.😉😄 After she said that I was like yeah! Why didn't I think of that?!🤦

Well REALLY, the answer is a matter of opinion!!! Different characters are probably going to remind different people of Anne.
Hannah wrote: "Dorothy wrote: "Hannah wrote: "Oh dear, Dorothy! Like Pam, I can't think of anyone except those who are outside the US. The only one coming to my mind is Pippi Longstocking by Astrid Lindgren."Ha..."
I didn't think that Little Women was the answer because it made me think of Anne, because it doesn't, I just guessed that because that's usually what Dorry does for the answer!! 🤣🤣🤣
Haha! Well, the question was based on the opinion I have, as well as what I found a lot of people saying on the internet, comparing Anne to Rebecca.
