520    The beloved author of Little Women was torn between 
       pleasing her idealistic father and planting her feet in 
       the material world. Now, Louisa May Alcott's name is known
       universally; yet, during her youth, the famous Alcott was 
       her father, Bronson--an eminent teacher, lecturer, and 
       friend of Emerson and Thoreau. Willful and exuberant, 
       Louisa flew in the face of all her father's theories of 
       child rearing. She, in turn, could not understand the 
       frugal life Bronson preached, which reached its epitome in
       the failed utopian community of Fruitlands. In a family 
       that insisted on self-denial and spiritual striving, 
       Louisa dreamed of wealth and fame. At the same time, like 
       most daughters, she wanted her father's approval. This 
       story of their tense yet loving relationship adds 
       dimensions to Louisa's life, her work, and the 
       relationships of fathers and daughters.--From publisher 
       description.
