    Summary

    When Mr Bennet dies suddenly, Longbourn passes to Mr Collins — and the Bennet ladies themselves with the new master arriving to take possession. Grief gives way to fear, and Mrs Bennet's hopes of remaining at Longbourn crumble under the quiet certainty that they can no longer call it home.

    With no son to inherit and no proposal forthcoming, the family faces disgrace, separation, and poverty—until an unexpected offer arrives from Mrs Gardiner: a modest cottage near Lambton in Derbyshire, where they might begin again.

    Uprooted from everything familiar, Elizabeth enters a new world of northern hills, new neighbours, and a certain gentleman she meets quite by chance—one who knows nothing of her circumstances, and whose reserve hides a heart she never expected to understand.

    This is a story of loss, resilience, and renewal—of sisters who refuse to be parted, a mother undone by fear, and a heroine who must rebuild her life before she can discover love.

    Sometimes, the future begins only after we let go of home.
