What if she wound up as Georgiana Darcy's governess? Make sure you've brushed up on your Charlotte Bronte to join Stefanie and Melinda as they discuss literary mash-ups, if the fortune teller dress up is the worst part of Jane Eyre, and how Melinda managed to avoid spoilers for nearly 200 year old book, in The Darcy Governess by April Karber.
