Jane Journeys On

In a sleepy Vermont town where tradition runs deep, the Vail family is certain that Jane will soon become Mrs. Wetherby. Martin, the banker's heir, embodies everything the community values—steady lineage, respectable work, and a polished demeanor. Yet Jane, at twenty‑four, feels a quiet rebellion stirring against the path everyone expects her to follow. The pressure of a single remaining year to decide adds urgency to her inner tug‑of‑war.

Jane's best friend, Sarah, has already carved out her own niche, turning her late father's stable into a lively music studio, leaving the social spotlight squarely on Jane. As she tries to write a story in the quiet of her green‑shuttered home, the constant hum of Aunt Lydia's well‑meaning interruptions and the watchful eyes of the Ladies’ Aid club make concentration elusive. Still, she senses that the choice between a comfortable, predictable future with Martin and an uncertain, self‑directed life is more than a simple match‑making game.
