A moving sermon leads to a random act of kindness that impacts the lives of the Darcys and changes the course of their story. What will be the final result for Elizabeth and Darcy?
“… he spoke about how most people had few opportunities for great works, but how everyone could do little things to help others each day. He called these ‘random acts of kindness.’”
19 chapters: Clean: delightful story. [4.5-stars] This story was such a delight. It made me smile the whole time. It was a story where D&E get to know each other early on and come together to solve problems and become more in love with each other.
Famous quote: YOU get a betrothal… YOU get a betrothal… and YOU get a betrothal! It seems like everyone was getting a betrothal. OK, I made that up or rather copied it shamelessly.
There were many couples that found love in this story. It all started when Elizabeth was a child and heard a sermon that opened her eyes to the needs of others and to invoke change in her own life. “… he spoke from the Bible and from his heart about brotherly love, of faith in action, and of works of service.” The words of that sermon changed her life, her perspective, and her attitude. That then started a cascade effect on those around her… and so on, and so on. The best way to describe it would be the ‘domino effect. It was amazing how the results of her actions and acts of kindness kept ricocheting back to her.

Elizabeth is saving Georgiana from drowning in a pond in Hyde Park while she is twelve years old, it’s her day’s act of kindness... and the beginning of a long lasting friendship! Many more acts of kindness will follow and have a huge impact on the life of many... beginning in the Bennet family. Highly recommend this story for all JAFF lovers.
