Jo's Boys
Book 3 of the Little Women series
The former students of Plumfield are now young adults facing work, romance, responsibility, and the temptation to choose comfort over character. Jo and her family remain connected to their struggles as each boy discovers that independence requires more than good intentions. Careers, engagements, setbacks, and reunions give the story a broad family-circle shape. Affectionate and episodic, this novel is a comforting long read for anyone who wants second-generation March family adventures and hopeful coming-of-age stories.
