***Please Note: *** The new story is a full length novel of more than 135,000 words ***

Some events in this tale are close to canon, but most deviate significantly. This one begins by examining the history of some families, the Bennets and Collins included. It delves into what made the characters who they are and the things in their lives which drive them to act the way that they do.

The Bingleys do lease Netherfield Park and Darcy comes with them. Collins invites himself to Longbourn as in Jane Austen's masterpiece, but that is where the similarities end.

Among others, the story answers the following questions: What kind of parents are Thomas and Fanny Bennet?How do the Bennet offspring behave?Is Darcy his usual insulting, arrogant self?Is Bingley the same easily led man?What are Lady Catherine's and Wickham's roles?Do Biggs and Johns make an appearance, and if so how?What is the Collins effect?Please join me as we look at the tale we all adore from a new perspective.
