Should delight the most acute Austen fans." -Stephanie Barron, national bestselling author ofthe Jane Austen Mysteries "A captivating read with a charmingly redeemed heroineJane Austen fans will love it!" -Syrie James, author of the bestsellingThe Lost Memoirs of Jane AustenandThe Secret Diaries of Charlotte Brontè "Austen devotees will appreciate the authenticity of language and setting as well as the many witty allusions to the canon." -Laurie Viera Rigler, author ofRude Awakenings of a Jane Austen Addict "A delightful trip through the complex world of the Regency, exposing goodness and hypocrisy with equal skill. I was sorry to see it end!" -Abigail Reynolds, author ofImpulse & Initiative "This solid rethinking ofLady Susandeserves a place on the shelf of any Austen aficionado." -Marsha Altman, author ofthe Darcys & the Bingleys "A delightfully clever resculpting of Austen's youthfulLady Susan.Jane Rubino and Caitlen Rubino-Bradway have rewarded honesty and perseverance in the style ofSense and Sensibility.Good fun!" -Kathryn L. Nelson, author ofPemberley Manor "I loved this book! A brilliant tour de force in Austen-related fiction and I believe that Jane Austen would be the first to congratulate the authors on their achievement." -C. Allyn Pierson, author ofAnd This Our Life: Chronicles of the Darcy Family "I admire the way the authors have paid homage to the Austen style throughout. I loved it." -Jill Pitkeathley, author ofCassandra & Jane, "Like any worthwhile pastiche, this entertaining novel prompts a renewed appreciation of the subtlety and wit of the real Jane Austen, who would never have had a character say '. . . everything is all about money!' even when it was."--Boston Globe "Inspired by Jane Austen's novellaLady Susan, this biting social comedy from mother-daughter duo Rubino (the veteran author) and Rubino-Bradway (the first-timer) is a delightful, worthy homage to Austen. In 19th-century England, Lady Susan Vernon is left nearly penniless after her honorable, wealthy husband dies and his unscrupulous little brother, Charles, bilks Susan and her daughter, Frederica, of their share of his fortune. Forced to rely upon the kindness of friends, the two spend several months bouncing from home to home. Subjected to the two-faced machinations of her social circle (particularly from Charles's wife, Catherine), Susan cleverly (and believably) turns several of her enemies against each other, using their own words. As in Austen's novels, securing a generous dowry and a "good" marriage (that is, one with money and status) is the all-important goal of every woman, but Susan is a dynamic character more than capable of delivering a shocking surprise."--Publishers Weekly "Cleverly inverts the premise of Austen'sLady Susan,with a richness of background and detail that enlivens the original epistolary novel.

Synopsis
Jane Austen's novella Lady Susan was written during the same period as another novella called Elinor and Marianne which was later revised and expanded to become Sense and Sensibility. Unfortunately for readers, Lady Susan did not enjoy the same treatment by its author and was left abandoned and forgotten by all but the most diligent Austen scholars. Until now. In Lady Vernon and Her Daughter, Jane Rubino and Caitlen Rubino-Bradway have taken Austen's original novella and transformed it into a vivid and richly developed novel of love lost and foundand the complex relationships between women, men, and money in Regency England. Lady Vernon and her daughter, Frederica, are left penniless and without a home after the death of Sir Frederick Vernon, Susan's husband. Frederick' s brother and heir, Charles Vernon, like so many others of his time, has forgotten his promises to look after the women, and despite their fervent hopes to the contrary, does nothing to financially support Lady Vernon and Frederica. When the ladies, left without another option, bravely arrive at Charles's home to confront him about his treatment of his family, they are faced with Charles's indifference, his wife Catherine's distrustful animosity, and a flood of rumors that threaten to undo them all. Will Lady Vernon and Frederica find love and happinessand financial security or will their hopes be dashed with their lost fortune? With wit and warmth reminiscent of Austen's greatest works, Lady Vernon and Her Daughter brings to vivid life a time and place where a woman's security is at the mercy of an entail, where love is hindered by misunderstanding, where marriage can never be entirely isolated from money, yet where romance somehow carries the day.
