Parked at the MansfieldsSandy Ward Bell2013

Keeping with the heart and spirit of Jane Austen's Mansfield Park, author Sandy Ward Bell tells a parallel story with a modern twist. As a ten year-old, Franny Price is taken from her mother. Forced to live in Pittsburgh with wealthy relatives, who are practically strangers, she learns to nurture herself. While her crazy aunt obsesses about a secret family key, Franny finds the courage to obey her instincts as she falls in love with the boy down the street and searches for her missing father. Ambitious neighbors arrive, resulting in a collision of ideals, jealousy, and a test of friendships.
