To pay for a lifetime of medical care for her six-year-old daughter Willow, who has severe osteogenesis imperfecta, Charlotte O'Keefe sues her best friend - Willow's obstetrician - for wrongful birth, forcing her to testify in open court that she would have terminated the pregnancy had she known.

Jane Austen's 1813 masterpiece follows Elizabeth Bennet through misjudgment and revelation - a Hunsford proposal that goes horribly, a letter that rearranges everything, a visit to Pemberley that changes what she thought she knew - in the great Regency comedy of manners about what we get wrong about other people and ourselves.

A week before her wedding to Butch Dixon, Sheriff Joanna Brady is hit with two cases at once - her octogenarian neighbor Clayton Rhodes is found dead in his garage, and a woman freshly paroled for killing her husband is murdered, leaving her half-Apache fifteen-year-old daughter Lucy Ridder on the run with a red-tailed hawk and the diskette her father left her.

When free-spirited elderly widow Alice Rogers is found dead in the desert clutching an insulin vial - despite not being diabetic - Sheriff Joanna Brady investigates her greedy children, her mysterious younger boyfriend, and a web of land development corruption.
