Finding Jane Eyre

– Early 19th century England –

Edward Rochester, a world-weary but wealthy man, has searched the world for love, in vain. Resigned to a loveless existence, he returns to England a defeated man.

But an unexpected encounter with a remarkable young woman–Jane Eyre–upends his world. As governess to his little ward, she is a mere dependent in his household.

In the weeks following his return, they meet a few times, and he finds her full of whimsical contrasts. He is intrigued and wants to learn more. As he regales her with tales of his adventures abroad, Jane listens without judgment. He finds himself freely confiding his youthful mistakes. All except one. One which changed the course of his life, and remains a secret. A secret known to just two other people in the whole world.

Then, late one night, Edward is astounded to discover that Jane’s daring and courage has saved his life, rescuing him from a mysterious fire, set in his own room while he was asleep! In the intimacy of the aftermath, they draw close, and he can deny his feelings no longer–he is desperately in love with her.

For a man whose surrender to a duty long forgotten forever altered the course of his life, Edward is faced with an impossible choice: yield once again to the counsel of others, to the man-made laws which shackle him to one woman, or surrender to the longing of his heart and spirit, which yearns for another.

Will he defy his own conscience, the law—and even God—to have what he wants?
