Synopsis
In Marilyn Brants smart, wildly inventive debut, one woman in search of herself receives advice from the ultimate expert in matters of the heart. . . It begins one day in sophomore English class, just as Ellie Barnetts teacher is assigning Jane Austens Pride and Prejudice. From nowhere comes a quiet "tsk" of displeasure. The target: Sam Blaine, the cute bad boy whos teasing Ellie mercilessly, just as he has since kindergarten. Entirely unbidden, as Jane might say, the authors ghost has taken up residence in Ellies mind, and seems determined to stay there. Janes wise and witty advice guides Ellie through the hell of adolescence and beyond, serving as the voice she trusts, usually far more than her own. Years and boyfriends come and go--sometimes a little too quickly, sometimes not nearly fast enough. But Janes counsel is constant, and on the subject of Sam, quite insistent. Stay away, Jane demands. He is your Mr. Wickham. Still, everyone has something to learn about love--perhaps even Jane herself. And lately, the voice in Ellies head is being drowned out by another, urging her to look beyond everything she thought she knew and seek out her very own, very unexpected, happy ending. . . "A warm, witty and charmingly original story. " --Susan Wiggs, New York Times bestselling author "An engaging read for all who have been through the long, dark, dating wars, and still believe theres sunshine, and a Mr. Darcy, at the end of the tunnel. " --Cathy Lamb, author of Henrys Sisters"This is a must-read for Austen lovers as well as for all who believe in the possibility of a happily-ever-after ending. " --Holly Chamberlin, author of One Week In December Marilyn Brant has been a classroom teacher, a library staff member, a freelance writer and a national book reviewer. She lives in the Chicago suburbs with her husband and son, surrounded by towers of books that often threaten to topple over and crush her. A proud member of the Jane Austen Society of North America, Marilyns debut novel featuring "Jane" won the Romance Writers of Americas prestigious Golden Heart® Award. When not working on her next book, she enjoys traveling, listening to music and finding new desserts to taste test.
