The thing about Mansfield Park…
“Have you any reason, child, to think ill of Mr. Crawford’s temper?”
“No, sir.”
She longed to add, “But of his principles I have”
In this Mansfield Park variation, Fanny is forced to accept Henry Crawford’s marriage proposal. She dreads being taken from everything she knows and into the home of a man she does not trust. Fanny can only hope that Mr. Crawford will come to his senses and call off the marriage. After all, he cannot really love her, can he?
Henry thought that Fanny would be delighted to escape from the neglect and cruelty of the Bertram family and Mrs. Norris. He wants to make Fanny happy, happier than she has ever been before. He has no idea that he is the last person that she would ever want to marry.

About the Author
I was introduced to Jane Austen when I saw Pride and Prejudice in 2005. I purchased the book soon after and I was hooked! I’ve enjoyed all of Jane Austen’s original books and read many continuations and variations. I’ve finally written down some of my own.
I live in Ontario, Canada, with my husband, sons, and small menagerie of pets. I have also published several scientific articles in public health, family medicine, and cognitive neuroscience.
