Little Women

There are four March sisters: oldest-sister Meg, who just wants to be "normal" and go to parties, hot-tempered and creative Jo, who wants desperately to be a writer, shy and musical Beth, who cares for the weakest in society, and last-but certainly not least-artistic Amy, who is sick of being treated like the baby and wishes that she was rich.



Each sister-along with Laurie, the boy next door-faces challenges and adventures, unexpected grief, and delighted joy as they journey through years filled with holiday celebrations, near-death experiences, world travel, first loves, and so much more. Devoted to their parents, they must decide if their parents' idealistic ways are worth following into adulthood.
