Summary
This story is a prequel to "Refined and Returned", a completed version of "The Watsons"—the unfinished fragment by Jane Austen.
Written on paper with watermarks from 1803 and 1804, The Watsons was set aside by Austen for reasons unknown and never completed. While many have speculated on why she abandoned it, the truth remains a mystery.
Eireanne Michaels chose to complete the story by staying true to Austen’s style, allowing the characters to act within the personalities she crafted while responding naturally to their circumstances. In developing the novel, the author created a detailed backstory for the Watson family and later decided it would be a shame not to share it with readers.
This prequel follows Emma Watson’s parents and the Watson family’s journey across three decades, ending when "Refined and Returned" begins.

Summary
I decided to write my own version of how the fragment "The Watsons" by Jane Austen could have ended.
Emma Watson was one of six children born to loving, though poor, parents. She was taken away from her family at the age of five to be raised as the heir of her aunt and uncle; however, fourteen years later, she found herself once again returned to her family as a well-educated young woman without a penny to her name. Now, Emma has to learn how to live in a less refined company company and style than she has been used to while also getting to know the family from whom she has been so long estranged.
With the goal to make a place for herself either through marriage or employment all while suffering from the fears of betrayal, abandonment, and future homelessness, how will Emma cope with her new circumstances? Will she be able to bond with the family who threw her off all those years ago? Will the man she has chosen choose her in return? Will she ever find a place for herself? Find out in this completion of Jane Austen's unfinished fragment "The Watsons".
