Little Women
Book 1 of the Little Women series
Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy March come of age in Massachusetts while their father serves away from home during the Civil War. Each sister pursues a different vision of adulthood through work, art, friendship, love, sacrifice, and the ordinary pressures of a family living with limited means. Their ambitions sometimes collide with pride or disappointment, but affection keeps drawing the household back together through joy and devastating loss. Warm, episodic, and emotionally rich, this classic belongs by the fire or in a family read-aloud for readers who value sisterhood, creative dreams, and imperfect people becoming more generous.
