About this listen
When Elizabeth Bennet publicly confronts the haughty Mr. Darcy about his criticisms at a Meryton assembly, their mutual dislike seems permanently established. But fate—with a little help from Jane and Mr. Bingley—forces these two stubborn souls to work together on a winter charity project for the less fortunate families of Hertfordshire.
As Elizabeth and Darcy reluctantly collaborate to bring warmth and dignity to those in need, they discover unexpected common ground beneath their apparent differences. Their charitable partnership gradually reveals qualities in each other that neither was prepared to acknowledge: his hidden compassion, her practical wisdom, and a shared commitment to helping others without diminishing their dignity.
But can two people who began with such thorough misunderstanding overcome their pride and prejudice to see the truth that lies before them? Or will social expectations and family obligations keep them forever at odds?
Jane Austen's beloved characters find new depths in this variation that explores how service to others might be the perfect catalyst for understanding oneself—and one's perfect match.

This is the 2nd edition of this book, updated for minor typos and formatting. It is the same book as published in 2023, it is not a new book. At the age of 13 Elizabeth Bennet met her reclusive neighbours and from that moment her life was changed forever. She learned the realities of life in Regency England for a young woman. What she learned disappointed and annoyed her, resulting in a young woman who held herself, and those around her, to a high standard. Rather than keep her constrained like so many young women, her neighbours encouraged her to be whatever she wanted. And if she wanted ...

Story
Tragedy strikes the Gardiner family and Elizabeth sacrifices her own prospects to help the family heal. She performs a heroic act while in London and then has to deal with the consequences for her and her family. Upon her return to Longhorn she attends the Assembly where Mr. Darcy very much does not act the gentleman. This is the story of a young woman overcoming all that is thrown at her, metaphorically. Caroline Bingley did not literally throw something at Elizabeth, however much she was tempted. This is variation on the classic story, with accurate historical details.
