Summary
Elinor and Marianne Dashwood live a charmed life. They get everything their hearts desire, plus they never have to work. But all of that changes when their father is indicted by the FBI for swindling millions. Now that their family fortune is gone and the Dashwood name and reputation are ruined from the recent scandal, the Dashwood girls must try to make it on their own in life, in work, and in love. From the start, the girls find it virtually impossible to find good, well-paying jobs with employers willing to hire them. Love also becomes a big challenge for Elinor and Marianne, since that they keep falling for the wrong men at the office. In Elinor's case, that man is Edward Farris, whom Elinor comes to believe steals. Marianne falls for John Willoughby, who is a liar, and Brandon, who brushes her off. When the Dashwood girls decide to try to market Marianne's homemade lotion, they find that they just may have found a way to turn their lives around.
