A sweet Christian, Historical Fiction that reads as a classic.  All the feels of Jane Austen, with quotes from many of her novels.

A family making the best of a terrible situation.  We can learn much from these resilient ladies.  While reading, I could not help but compare these characters to Jane Austen's.  

After reading this, I found myself craving a reread of multiple classics.  

Jane Austen fans, this is for us!

Interestingly, I learned how Agatha's personal life greatly influenced her writings. 

Beware: Reading this will spoil some of her book endings.
