Synopsis
In the bestselling tradition of Loving Frank and March comes a novel for anyone who loves Little Women.
Millions of readers have fallen in love with Little Women. But how could Louisa May Alcott-who never had a romance-write so convincingly of love and heart-break without experiencing it herself?
Deftly mixing fact and fiction, Kelly O'Connor McNees imagines a love affair that would threaten Louisa's writing career-and inspire the story of Jo and Laurie in Little Women. Stuck in small-town New Hampshire in 1855, Louisa finds herself torn between a love that takes her by surprise and her dream of independence as a writer in Boston. The choice she must make comes with a steep price that she will pay for the rest of her life.

From AudioFile
Louisa May Alcott's fans have long speculated that the romance between Jo and Laurie in LITTLE WOMEN might have been based on some unknown aspect of Alcott's real-life experience. Here the author weaves a fictional story out of that speculation. Emily Card's authentic performance is akin to eavesdropping on Alcott's private journal entries, which are blended with the fictional aspects of the story. Card's voice captures Louisa's passion for writing and her independent spirit, which, in her mind, means foregoing marriage with her fictional lover, Joseph Singer. In the novel their romance is intricately linked to Walt Whitman's LEAVES OF GRASS, poems that favor their liberal views. Card shifts smoothly from the familiar voices of Louisa's family to her father's Transcendentalist theories, which mire the family in poverty. The combination of Alcott's words and Card's reading is magic. K.P. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine
