About this book
When twenty-two-year-old Louisa May Alcott meets the captivating Joseph Singer in small-town New Hampshire, she finds herself at an unexpected crossroads between love and ambition. Restless and yearning to escape to Boston and build her writing career, Louisa discovers that matters of the heart can be just as transformative—and just as complicated—as any dream she's chased. This richly imagined story explores what might have happened during that fateful summer of 1855, when one choice would ripple through the rest of her life in ways she never anticipated. A beautifully woven tale for anyone who's wondered about the untold stories behind the woman who gave us Little Women.
