Where North Meets South: A Modern Retelling of North and South (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798992621402)

Margaret Hale has never felt at home in her own life. Desperate for a change, she leaves behind Boston to reconnect with her estranged father. But Milton, Connecticut doesn't feel like home either. When she meets John Thornton, her life takes an unexpected detour, for better or for worse. He's too old-fashioned, too opinionated, too tall, and just too bloody American. Whenever and wherever they meet, sparks (and tempers) fly, until Margaret can't tell if she absolutely hates him or if she's falling in love with him.

John Thornton has life all figured out. He does the right thing, tells the truth, and works hard. If other people don't like him, that's their problem. He doesn't have time to waste, especially on love. When he meets Margaret Hale, his roadmap to a good life goes straight out the damn window. There's something about her he just can't ignore. The more time he spends with her, the more he wants her, even if she is a major pain in the ass.

This modern retelling of Elizabeth Gaskell's timeless story about culture clash and coming of age brings a fresh perspective to the struggle of learning how to live, falling in love, and finding a place to call home.
