About the Book Title: Presumption and Partiality Author: Rebekah Jones Genre: Historical Christian Fiction Release Date: November 27, 2017 Among the cotton fields and farmland of Gilbert, Arizona in the early years of the Great Depression, Mr. and Mrs. Bailey live a simple, but happy life with their five daughters on a cotton farm. When the wealthy Richard Buchanan moves to town, bringing his family, a friend, and a desire to learn about cotton, Matilda Bailey is convinced that he is the perfect candidate to marry her eldest daughter, Alice. Richard is cheerful, friendly, and likable. His friend Sidney Dennison doesn’t make such a good impression. Eloise Bailey decides he’s arrogant and self-conceited, but when Raymond Wolfe comes to town, accusing Sidney of dishonorable and treacherous conduct, Eloise is angered at the injustice of the situation. When the Buchanan household leaves town, Alice must turn to the Lord and face, perhaps, her most difficult test in trust, while Eloise takes a trip to visit her friend and may well discover a web of deceit that she doesn’t really want to believe exists.

My Review This book is the fourth in a series. I have not read the previous books in the series but I still was able to enjoy this reading. This story is a remake of the classic Pride and Prejudice . I wasn't really sure what to expect but once this story captures you you will not want to lay the book down. The setting is Arizona in the 1930s. When a struggling family has five marriage age daughters then the mother sometimes will do everything she can to try to push her daughters into the path of what she considers "eligible" men. This was a very enjoyable read. Disclaimer: I was given a complimentary copy of this book but all thoughts and opinions are my own honest ones.
