The Uncollected Romance Stories

The Uncollected Romance Stories by Lucy Maud Montgomery explore love, relationships, and the human heart across various scenarios.

This collection of Lucy Maud Montgomery’s romance stories showcases a selection often overlooked in other compilations, offering fresh and delightful narratives that were previously circulating for little to no recognition.

In Josephine’s Husband, for example, a woman’s life changes after she marries a man she barely knows, Here Comes the Bride showcases the trials leading up to a wedding and Miss Juliana’s Wedding Dress reveals how a cherished dress impacts lives across generations. In The Story of a Love, a long-hidden romance is uncovered while The Matchmaker deals with the complications of orchestrating others’ romances and The Deferment of Hester and For the Good of Anthony both delve into sacrifices made in the name of love, with poignant outcomes.
