Wisdom and Humility

About the Book

A ranch in the Black Hills of South Dakota in the 1920's is the setting for this tale based on the classic Pride and Prejudice.

Years ago, following his only daughter's marriage to Benjamin Bennett, Muskim Longbourn wrote in his will that his ranch should only pass on to male heirs. Four generations later, Ellie Bennet helps her father run the family ranch, but changes are coming.

Newcomers to the Black Hills in South Dakota bring romance and heartbreak to several of the local women. Then there is the handsome, yet frustratingly pretentious Lucas Callahan who seems to be at the heart of all the strife. As Luke and Ellie are continually thrown together in different scenarios, their feelings for one another seem to be on a turbulent journey. Neither one can decide how they feel for the other. When several misfortunes come to the Bennet family, will they be able to work through them or will they lose their reputations as well as their ranch? Will both Luke and Ellie be able to find the wisdom they need to make some tough decisions?
