Step back to 1955 England in this heartwarming romance that blends friendship and faith with a note of mystery and echoes of Jane Austen

Margaret Elliot, an aspiring author from Jane Austen’s own Steventon, has more in common with the beloved novelist than she’d like—both women know the sting of lost love. Resolved to embrace her calling to singleness, Margaret pours herself into writing stories that honor God. A move to London with her dearest friend—and a secretarial job at a publishing house—seems the perfect first step toward her dream.

But when she meets Graham Corbyn, an earnest young publisher with a vision to change the literary world, Margaret finds her resolve tested. Together, they embark on the risky adventure of founding a new publishing company. Yet behind the promise of fresh beginnings lies a shadowy opposition that threatens their work and challenges their faith.

Not Quite Miss Austen is the captivating prequel to the Not Quite Series, a collection of faith-filled novels tied together by Margaret’s enduring legacy. Rich with nods to Jane Austen yet entirely original, this story of courage, devotion, and love invites you to consider what it truly means to follow God’s call—whatever the cost.
