In the Wilds of Derbyshire
Jann Rowland
- Rejected
- by
- a
- sister
- who
- has
- allowed
- her
- new
- status
- as
- wife
- to
- Mr.
- Bingley
- to
- make
- her
- proud,
- Elizabeth
- Bennet
- goes
- to
- her
- uncle's
- estate
- in
- Derbyshire,
- ostensibly
- to
- assist
- her
- cousin
- in
- her
- introduction
- to
- society.
- In
- reality,
- Elizabeth
- feels
- there
- is
- nothing
- left
- for
- her
- in
- the
- neighborhood
- of
- her
- birth.Her
- uncle's
- estate
- is
- small,
- and
- Elizabeth
- must
- work
- while
- there,
- and
- though
- she
- finds
- her
- tasks
- easy
- to
- bear.
- She
- quickly
- becomes
- close
- to
- her
- young
- cousin
- and
- uncle,
- though
- her
- aunt
- is
- a
- hard,
- demanding
- woman,
- who
- seems
- to
- hold
- a
- grudge
- against
- Elizabeth.
- But
- she
- also
- meets
- many
- friends,
- including
- the
- daughter
- of
- an
- earl,
- and
- the
- handsome
- friend
- of
- her
- sister
- Jane's
- new
- husband,
- a
- Mr.
- Fitzwilliam
- Darcy.As
- Elizabeth
- is
- slowly
- pulled
- from
- her
- melancholy,
- new
- vistas
- open
- up
- to
- her,
- and
- she
- realizes
- that
- she
- can
- still
- have
- everything
- she
- has
- ever
- wished
- to
- have.
- But
- the
- jealousy
- of
- a
- woman
- who
- is
- no
- friend
- of
- her
- courtship
- with
- a
- wealthy
- man
- threatens
- her
- newfound
- happiness,
- and
- the
- coming
- of
- a
- sister
- who
- rejected
- her
- has
- the
- potential
- to
- once
- again
- disrupt
- Elizabeth's
- life
- and
- destroy
- her future.
