In this unique take on Jane Austen's Persuasion, Amanda Grange looks at love and loss through the eyes of Captain Wentworth. Joining the Navy during the Napoleonic Wars is a chance for Frederick Wentworth to find glory and make his fortune. Never does he think that during his shore leave in Somerset he will fall in love. But while attending a private ball, he meets the graceful and intelligent Miss Anne Elliot -- and his heart is lost.
