The year is 1795 and young Jane Austen is a feisty
20-year-old and emerging writer who already sees a world
beyond class and commerce, beyond pride and prejudice, and
dreams of doing what was then nearly unthinkable - marrying
for love. Naturally, her parents are searching for a wealthy,
well-appointed husband to assure their daughter's future
social standing. They are eyeing Mr. Wisley, nephew to the
very formidable, not to mention very rich, local aristocrat
Lady Gresham, as a prospective match. But when Jane meets the
roguish and decidedly non-aristocratic Tom Lefroy, sparks
soon fly along with the sharp repartee. His intellect and
arrogance raise her ire - then knock her head over heels.
Now, the couple, whose flirtation flies in the face of the
sense and sensibility of the age, is faced with a terrible
dilemma. If they attempt to marry, they will risk everything
that matters - family, friends and fortune.
