Arden Park

Raised in Tennessee by her poor but genteel great grandmother,
Jasmine Johnson is orphaned at eleven and moves in with her
oh-so-modern cousins in California. Based on Jane Austen's
Mansfi eld Park, Arden Park takes a 19th-century child and sets
her down in a 21st-century world of wealth, opulence, and selfindulgence.
A cautionary tale replete with scheming, romance,
values, and the lack of them, Arden Park pits Jasmine against
a crowd of fashionable, pampered teenagers, as she takes on
school, career, and love.
