✦ Synopsis

Mrs. Bennet was so very confident that "people do not die of trifling colds" but what if she was horribly, devastatingly wrong?

When Elizabeth Bennet walked three miles to the neighboring estate of Netherfield to nurse her ill sister, after she was caught in the rain, she had no idea how pivotal that week would be. Abandoned as she was by the uncaring sisters of Mr. Bingley, their new neighbor, how would she cope when even her parents refused to answer her pleas for aid. Yet one person steps forward as a caring and admirable support in her time of devastating loss, the quiet and enigmatic Mr. Darcy. What will she do without his strength when she returns home to Longbourne with her mother's nerves, her father's disinterest and her sisters' determination to make themselves and their family ridiculous. And it only becomes worse when yet another family member lingers within inches of death. Will Elizabeth's determination and indominable will be enough to overcome when Wickham and Collins appear?

Join us in this darker retelling of Jane Austen's beloved Pride and Prejudice; darker but full of hope.
