Universal Truth

Everyone thought they knew everything there was to know about Mary Bennet. The quiet, bookish, middle daughter certainly didn't have anything going for her. While her beautiful and talented sisters did great things, everyone assumed she would spend all of her days locked away in her parents' library.
One day, an old family friend arrives and gives Mary hope. There is a small, elite college that offers full scholarships to five special people each year. To apply, Mary has to admit that her family, whom she loves, might be holding her back even though they mean well. Can she muster the courage to walk away from everything she knows for a world that might not understand her?
This modern-day reimagining of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice tells the story of one young woman's relentless search to find and live her own truth.
