  A thirst for death. His master's desire to save him. A young girl's mission to heal his shattered spirit. 
  Years have passed since Jimmy and his daughter Magnolia were sold to owners in different states. Broken and beyond hope, a last attempt to end his suffering earned him a night in the pit. Now his owner is eager to be rid of this troublesome slave before he loses the money he paid. He takes Jimmy to town to be sold and they meet slave owner and reformed abolitionist Charles Hendricks along the road. Charles can see Jimmy is a lost soul—a mere reflection of the man he once was because of his painful existence, so he asks to purchase the slave and offers Jimmy a special proposition.  
  Once Jimmy is at Livingston Plantation, his new masa's daughter stirs up memories of the past he wants to forget. Will Jimmy finally give in to his growing anguish and end it all? Or will the gentle soul of this child give him enough purpose to persevere?

  "Sense and Sensibility," written in 1811, was the first of six books by legendary British author Jane Austen.   
  In the story, we meet Mrs. Dashwood and her three daughters, who are betrayed by a family member and left in dire financial straits. Since none of the girls will come with a dowry, the prospects of their marrying well are extremely unlikely. One day, while out for a walk in the rain, the middle daughter, Marianne, twists her ankle and is rescued by the handsome Mr. Willoughby. Though cautioned by her older sister Elinor to be wary, Marianne - blinded by love - rushes into the budding romance headlong...with grim consequences.   
  What follows is a thrilling and fascinating tale of romance, intrigue, disloyalty and redemption in what has become one of the most celebrated and cherished works of fiction in literary history. Jane Austen's "Sense and Sensibility" is presented here in its original and unabridged format and has been narrated by renowned audiobook narrator Sara Nichols, best known for her narration of Charlotte Brontë's "Jane Eyre," Willa Cather's "Prairie Trilogy" and all of the books written by Jane Austen, which are also available on this platform.
