Book Description

Release Date: Aug 1 2006 | Series: The Austen Series (Book 6)

Bestselling author Debra White Smith’s popular Austen series has a new addition—a contemporary story based on Jane Austen’s Persuasion.

Allie Ellen is the daughter of a respected, wealthy southern family who owns a plantation. Frederick Wently has no money and plans to join the Air Force. When the two meet, they feel a deep attraction. But Allie’s unsentimental aunt dissuades her from the relationship—so when Frederick proposes, Allie runs off.

Years later, Allie and Frederick find themselves in the same city once again. But other love interests and Frederick’s bitterness from their earlier break up may keep them apart. Will forgiveness and hope erase the memories of the past in time for Allie and Frederick to have a future?

5.0 out of 5 stars Very sorry to see the series end July 21 2008
By Amanda-Marie - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
As a Jane Austen addict, I've read many variations of Jane Austen's work including several sequels and retellings. I was beginning to despair of finding any with a good clean story line that didn't include graphic sex. I enjoyed this series so much I'm sorry to see it end.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Re-write of Jane Austen's Persuasion Mar 2 2007
By Meredith - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
If you are new to this series, it is a re-write of all Jane Austen's novels in modern times with a Christian undertone. This one of the best ones, in my opinion. It was a very gripping read. The main charachter Allie starts off in love with the gardener of her father's plantation. She works along side hime and has a degree in horticulture. Her family is very rich, the gardener Fredrick, is not. Well the two talk about marriage and then Allie goes and talks to her Aunt Landon, who has been a second mother to Allie since Allie's mom passed away. Aunt Landon was not happy with Allie's choice in men and persuaded her that if she ever got engaged to Fredrick the family would be most unhappy with her and she may be cut out of her aunt's will.

So Allie, not wanting to disappoint her family does not marry, Fredrick.

10 years later he reappears in her life. She feels sad, miserable, lonely, pathetic and he feels bitter, hurt, but still love for her.

Other great characters join the mix and the question is will Allie and Fredrick get back together?

Read the book to find out, there are many obstacles for them to overcome and many miscommunications that just make the book a real page turner.

I loved this series and recommend it to anyone who loves Jane Austen and Christian literature.

3.0 out of 5 stars Light romantic read! Sep 7 2006
By Rel Mollet - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Debra White Smith continues her series of contemporary retellings of Jane Austen novels with a fresh look at Persuasion. Possibilities tells the story of wealthy Allie who regrets her decision of a decade past to reject the proposal of the family's yardman Frederick Wently on the basis of social prejudice.

Frederick reenters Allie's life after sacrificial service in the war in Afghanistan as a pilot. Allie's family fortunes have waned due to the indulgent lifestyle sought by her father and sisters and Frederick harbours bitterness stemming from Allie's rejection of him in the past. Both Frederick and Allie must search their hearts to determine if forgiveness and acceptance will take precendence over heartache and disdain.

While traditional fans of Jane Austen's work may balk at reading such a book, Ms Smith will no doubt convert many with her emphasis on looking at the heart and rising above inane social restrictions that continue to influence us today.
