Summary "Eight years previously, Anne fell deeply in love with the handsome young naval officer, Frederick Wentworth, and became engaged to him. But with neither fortune nor rank to recommend him, Anne's conceited father - a baronet - and her well-meaning but class-conscious godmother persuaded her to break off the match. When Wentworth returns from sea a rich and desirable captain, Anne can only look on in despair as every eligible young woman falls at his feet. Anne has never stopped loving him, but has Wentworth forgotten the girl he left behind? And can he ever forgive her for listening to her family instead of her heart?"--ABC1 website
