This is the story of Jane Austen's brief life, with a focus on all the moving she had to do. This was because she never married and was pretty much dependent on family for a place to live. Some of her brothers were kinder than others. Her sister, Cassandra, who was in the same boat was always her best friend and loving companion. The sisters looked out for and cared for each other all the time they were together.

A lot of Jane Austen's writing revolves around cruel relations and a search for a home of one's own. I hope, in heaven, that she found her own version of Pemberley and can see how much her writing is revered even now, 200 years plus after her death.

She died way too young, no matter what took her. It seems to be a question mark as to what her illness was and what medicine should have been used. None of that would bring her back, though.

She's the most revered and loved female writer who ever lived. That's pretty awesome for the Austen family's resident aunt and spinster.
