After the unfortunate death of both her parents, beautiful Jane Bennet finds herself the owner of Longbourn. Though she is only eighteen, she spends the next year learning how to run the estate and the house. In the following years, Jane grows in maturity and wisdom, doing all she can to raise her younger sisters to be elegant yet strong young ladies.
A little less than four years later, Mr. Bingley and his party enter the neighborhood. The gentleman is easily smitten with the kind and gentle Miss Bennet, but the lady is less entranced with him. Instead of encouraging him, she conspires with his sister to convince him to leave her alone.
A few months later, Jane takes her sisters to London for a couple of months. While there, she meets one of her uncle’s business associates, Mr. Carruthers, and immediately falls under his spell. Meanwhile, Elizabeth runs across Mr. Darcy in Hyde Park, not just once but several times.
This story is mostly about Jane and how her greater responsibility and greater maturity helps her sisters, though there is plenty of attention given to Elizabeth and Darcy as well as Mary. As with all my books, there is little angst. It is a sweet story to help the reader unwind from life’s stresses.
