Kestrel Klein wins a Christmas vacation at Pembrook Park, an immersive Austen experience filled with hearth fires, new company, and gentlemen trying to woo her under the mistletoe.
She has always been too much for her mother to manage and too much for any ordinary path to hold, and Hank, the sweet man she believed was her soulmate, has already broken her heart.
Inside Austenland she feels a rare happiness, especially among instant friends who draw her into their circle.
Even so, she fears the found family she wants will disappear unless she can quiet the parts of herself that refuse to shrink.
An unexpected visitor disrupts the holiday and leaves her wondering whether the love she once wanted still belongs in the life that finally feels like home.
