Hello there! It's finally here. I'm so excited to share this short story with you. It's a favorite (absolute favorite) of mine. I hope this twist on Romeo + Juliet short story has brought you a comfort and gentleness you needed.
Thank you so much for listening. The free ebook is available through the Lesser Known Works Newsletter, so be sure to sign up.
ALSO, we've collaborated with the ever talented Elizabeth Welte on this project. She wrote a beautiful poem for Isobel - a sneak peek into one of her letters that LM Montgomery decided didn't need to be in the story lol. We've remedied that with Elizabeth Welte's help. Her poem will be in the ebook for Newsletter readers and we'll have it available to listen next week as we review The Letters. I can't wait for you all to hear her poem and read it!
Thank you again! Can't really say that enough.

This episode features one of my favorite short stories by LM Montgomery with an epigraph, Turn, by the talented and lovable Elsie May - you can find her most recent work here or sign up for her substack so not to miss a single piece. A huge thank you to Elsie May for writing this piece specifically for Invitation Given on Impulse and Lesser Known Works. We love it!
Kindness Matters is the theme of Invitation Given on Impulse. I hope you love it--and more so, I hope it inspires you, encourages you to be kind to yourself and to the others today.
