Meet the Austen Sisters

Elinor

The eldest of the five sisters, Elinor Austen, is possessed with all the qualities expected of an older sister. She is reserved, pragmatic, protective, and occasionally judgmental—just ask her sisters. At thirty-one, she is completely focused on her career over any prospects of marriage. But a recent project with a new colleague has our heroine questioning whether to follow her sense or finally give in to her well-contained sensibilities.

Elizabeth

Our next heroine, with her charm and humor, may easily be the most popular of the sisters. Elizabeth Austen is full of sparkle and wit but let us not overlook her faults. Her passion and pride can lead her to false impressions and prejudices. She has turned her lifelong passion for reading into a career in publishing, finding happiness working for a small company specializing in romantic fiction. Elizabeth is good at reading romance novels, but can she find love outside the pages of a book?

Anne

In a family of five, there must always be a middle child, and Anne Austen holds that position. Neither exceptionally beautiful nor particularly witty, she appreciates that she is suited to the role of a wallflower. But Anne’s sympathetic nature and calm counsel is the heart of the family. She has chosen her path at the persuasion of others and must now figure out how to follow her own mind and heart.

Emma

Is there not always one heroine who seems to have it all? Emma Austen has the self-assuredness that comes with beauty and the wit that comes with being clever. At twenty-three, she has carved out a niche in the world of social media. Her latest project is the launch of a dating app.  While she isn’t searching for love herself, she’s dedicated to helping others find it. Will our heroines misapplied sense lead to love…or mischief?

Catherine 

Catherine Austen is the most unlikely of heroines. She is naive to the world around her, but what she lacks in experience she makes up for in kindness. She is as all baby sisters are: spoiled by her older siblings and much beloved. But do not misinterpret her naivety for lack of intelligence. Our heroine must simply learn to pull her head out of her book for a while and seek the adventures that should befall all young ladies.

Fanny

“Her heart was made for love and kindness, not resentment.”
