North Carolina, 1863. As the American Civil War rages on, the Freedmen's Colony of Roanoke Island is blossoming, a haven for the recently emancipated. This is where the March family has finally been able to safely put down roots with four young daughters. Meg is a teacher who longs to find love and start a family of her own. Jo is a writer whose words are too powerful to be contained. Beth, a talented seamstress, is searching for a higher purpose. Amy, a dancer, is eager to explore life outside her family's home. As the March sisters come into their own as independent young women, they will face first love, health struggles, heartbreak, and new horizons-- and they will face it all together. -- adapted from jacket |
