Imagination is everything.
Those three words changed my life in 1995.
They brought an amazing and diverse group of people into my orbit and have
blessed me with friendships that continue to this day. They brought me a
conviction, something solid to believe in. And, finally, importantly they
brought me into the world of JAFF.
When I finished P&P2 (1995) and then
the book, I wasn’t done with Darcy & Lizzy. Who could be? They were such
rich, realized characters. And the story left off just when the story was
getting good. Toni Morrison told us to write the story we want to read,
so….Challenge accepted.
Jane Austen gave me a world less ordinary.
About the book
Once, Fitzwilliam Darcy
and Elizabeth Bennet were foes, then tenuous friends. After Elizabeth discovers
Darcy is engaged to another woman, she flees to Boston to seek solace with her
cousin, the brash and worldly Emeline Poston.
When
she returns to England after years spent abroad, Elizabeth must face the man
who shattered her heart, and she is shocked to find the proud man she once knew
drastically altered. Does she have the courage to seek out the man with whom
she fell in love—whatever the cost?
Fitzwilliam
Darcy has spent his days regretting what might have been and his nights being
tormented by the decisions he has made. His life in tatters, he can barely face
the once-respectable man in his mirror or the baby girl in Pemberley’s nursery.
Now that Elizabeth has returned, will he atone for his mistakes and win her
heart for good?
This alternate path reimagining of Jane
Austen’s Pride & Prejudice is recommended for adult readers.
About the author
Amy
George is a middle-aged woman who hates her "old lady/grown-up" car
and refuses to listen to its radio at a reasonable volume, especially when the
Beastie Boys or the Violent Femmes are playing. She lives in a town in the
middle of the country where the county fair is one of the biggest social events
of the season and everything is fried. Her household consists of a dog, a cat,
a man, a hermit, and stubborn soap scum.
She has been writing since she was a child
and was a frequent contributor to the Hyacinth Gardens, a popular but defunct
JAFF site.
