When Josephine Carter loses her parents at the age of ten, she is taken into the Bennet household-not as charity, but as family. Growing up beside Elizabeth Bennet, Josephine finds love, laughter, and belonging at Longbourn, even as the world beyond its gates reminds her she does not easily fit within it.
Years later, as society, expectations, and marriage prospects press in on the Bennet sisters, Josephine's quiet life is unsettled by the arrival of a proud, reserved gentleman-Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy. What begins as distant politeness slowly unfolds into something deeper, as Darcy comes to see the strength beneath her gentleness, and Josephine discovers a heart that mirrors her own.
A story of found family, silent endurance, and a love that grows not from admiration alone, but from understanding.
