The Death of Three Birds

In this historical fiction short story of Jane Austen’s day (1812), reputations were the most delicate of things; and eighteen-year-old Kailey Thornbury set about to put a chain of events in motion that would get revenge on her older sister’s would-be suitor for jilting her. Thinking she’s killed two birds with one stone, she failed to see the death of a third, the one that came back to haunt her.
