More than eight years before the novel opens, Anne Elliot, then a lovely, thoughtful, warm-hearted 19 year old, accepted a proposal of marriage from the handsome young naval officer Frederick Wentworth. He was clever, confident, and ambitious, but poor and with no particular family connections to recommend him. Sir Walter, Anne's fatuous, snobbish father and her equally self-involved older sister Elizabeth were dissatisfied with her choice, maintaining that he was no match for an Elliot of Kellynch Hall, the family estate. Her older friend and mentor, Lady Russell, acting in place of Anne's late mother, persuaded her to break the engagement.

Now 27 and still unmarried, Anne re-encounters her former love when his sister and brother-in-law, the Crofts, take out a lease on Kellynch. Wentworth is now a captain and wealthy from maritime victories in the Napoleonic wars. However, he has not forgiven Anne for rejecting him. While publicly declaring that he is ready to marry any suitable young woman who catches his fancy, he privately resolves that he is ready to become attached to any appealing young woman except for Anne Elliot.

-Can you remember who you were, before the world told you who you should be?- [Name], a girl who was left with nothing. Not even her memories. She was an empty vessel with no purpose in life. The only thing driving her was the immense anger inside her body which she herself didn't understand. Yet that same girl, was able to show more affection and compassion than most people with hearts, in her own special way ofcourse. "I'll be there to protect you. Take care of you and provide for you. I'll let no harm come your way. I'd jump in tartarus even if it meant just getting a glimpse of your face." "Why?" "Because I love you, and life has no meaning if you're not in it."
