The year is 1795 and young Jane Austen is a feisty 20-year-old and emerging writer who already sees a world beyond class and commerce, beyond pride and prejudice, and dreams of doing what was then nearly unthinkable - marrying for love.

Naturally, her parents are searching for a wealthy, well-appointed husband to assure their daughter's future social standing.

They are eyeing Mr.

Wisley, nephew to the very formidable, not to mention very rich, local aristocrat Lady Gresham, as a prospective match.

But when Jane meets the roguish and decidedly non-aristocratic Tom Lefroy, sparks soon fly along with the sharp repartee.

His intellect and arrogance raise her ire - then knock her head over heels.

Now, the couple, whose flirtation flies in the face of the sense and sensibility of the age, is faced with a terrible dilemma.

If they attempt to marry, they will risk everything that matters - family, friends and fortune.
