It Taught Me to Hope
About this ebook
The Mr. Darcy who returns, however, is different, still a man of much confidence but with a strange hesitation toward her. With him comes his sister, Miss Georgiana Darcy, a young woman of whom Elizabeth has heard much. Before long, the two ladies become friendly, and with Elizabeth’s younger sister, Mary Hardwick, who lives nearby, they forge a close friendship.
The last years have been hard on Darcy, for he has existed in an indeterminate state, unable to forget about Elizabeth and unable to give her up and move on in his life. A chance encounter in London gives Darcy the courage to return to Hertfordshire, where he is determined to make one more attempt to secure Elizabeth’s favor and end his suffering.
As the two long-sundered acquaintances meet and begin the uncertain path to understanding and love, they must endure another suitor determined to obtain Elizabeth’s hand, unpredictable events, the return of Elizabeth's elder sister after a tragic event, and the specter of their previous misunderstandings. The path to true love is never smooth and the road on which Elizabeth and Darcy travel has been rougher than most, but Darcy is determined to succeed, and Elizabeth is impatient to find the love that has eluded her.

About the author
Jann Rowland is a Canadian, born and bred. Other than a two-year span in which he lived in Japan, he has been a resident of the Great White North his entire life, though he professes to still hate the winters.
Though Jann did not start writing until his mid-twenties, writing has grown from a hobby to an all-consuming passion. His interests as a child were almost exclusively centered on the exotic fantasy worlds of Tolkien and Eddings, among a host of others. As an adult, his interests have grown to include historical fiction and romance, with a particular focus on the works of Jane Austen.
When Jann is not writing, he enjoys rooting for his favorite sports teams. He is also a master musician (in his own mind) who enjoys playing piano and singing as well as moonlighting as the choir director in his church’s congregation.
Jann lives in Alberta with his wife of more than twenty years, two grown sons, and one young daughter. He is convinced that whatever hair he has left will be entirely gone by the time his little girl hits her teenage years. Sadly, though he has told his daughter repeatedly that she is not allowed to grow up, she continues to ignore him.
