The film was co-produced by Sullivan Entertainment, the Disney Channel and CBC. The film is similar to Anne of Green Gables, mainly because of the same location.

Many of the actors and actresses from Anne of Green Gables, Anne of Avonlea, and Road to Avonlea made appearances in this film.

Synopsis[]

12 year old Jane Stuart (Mairon Bennett) has long been told by her Grandmother Kennedy (Zoe Caldwell) that her father is dead. But when her mother, Robin Stuart (Patricia Phillips) returns home after recovering from a long illness, Jane learns that her mysterious father, Andrew Stuart (Sam Waterston) is still alive. When Jane finally meets her father and travels with him to Prince Edward Island to stay at Lantern Hill, their family home, she discovers that he is a kind man that cares deeply for both her and her mother. Determined to bring her parents back together, Jane enlists the aid of Hepzibah (Colleen Dewhurst), a powerful mystic, to help her solve an old mystery that has torn apart her family.
