An American Heir: A Modern Retelling of Jane Eyre lifts Charlotte Brontë's classic from nineteenth century England and plants it firmly on twenty-first century American soil. Bea Stephens is the modern counterpoint to Jane: a smart and independent woman whose intelligence far surpasses her means. Hoping to earn some money so she can finish college, Bea takes a job as a nanny for Ethan Stuart, a mercurial hotel magnate. While Bea and Ethan come from different backgrounds - practically different worlds - the distance between them is ultimately bridged by their love for one another. Read An American Heir, and meet a modern Jane.
