A new priest, John Meredith, arrives at St. Mary's Glen, a widower with four children, Gerald (Jerry), Faith, Una, and Thomas Carlisle (Carl). The unruly children are constantly getting into trouble, which calls into question their father's ability to raise and hold his position. The only ones they are friendly and open to are the Blythe family.
The children of Anya and Gilbert, the Merediths, and orphan Mary Vance have taken a favorite place to play, a hollow behind a grove they have named Rainbow Valley. Jim Blythe decides to organize the Good Behavior Club to teach the Merediths how to behave. For misbehavior, the children devise their own punishment. One of these results in Carl contracting pneumonia after spending several hours in the rain in a cemetery, and Una fainting at a church service after a day's fasting. John Meredith blames himself as a failing father and decides to marry to give his children a mother. He proposes marriage to Rosemary West, a single woman in her thirties, but is rebuffed by her older sister Ellen, since the sisters had promised not to leave each other after their parents died. Soon Ellen herself joins her fate with a longtime lover, and things get better for John and Rosemary. According to the chronology of the action, this is the seventh book in the series about Anya Shirley and her large family. The Anya Shirley novels are a classic story of growing up with ups and downs, sorrows and joys. In 2017, the very heartwarming Anne series, based on the Anya series of novels, was released.
