Eighteen-year-old Jenny Austen considers herself very lucky. She has a loving family, a home in beautiful southern England, and time to write her novels. But Jenny, with her "head full of questions no one seemed able to answer," also feels peculiar, especially compared to her "calm and practical" older sister, Cassandra. Jenny is exasperated with ballroom arrangements and begins to think she'll never be lucky enough to make a true love match. As she grows older and becomes simply "Jane," will a captivating young man named Tom Lefroy change her views on life and love?
