The four March sisters and their mother, whom they call "Marmee", live in
New England during the Civil War. Mr. March is a chaplain in the Union Army and rarely at home. The March girls suffer because
of the war and their poverty, but contrive to be happy by performing charitable services for neighbors, staging home theatricals,
and attending parties. Theodore "Laurie" Laurence III, the grandson of Mr. Laurence, their wealthy next-door neighbor,
makes their acquaintance and falls in love with Jo, the tomboy of the March family. Meg, the eldest, is a governess who wishes
she were rich. Beth is Jo's pet; she is shy, quiet, and very musical. All she ever wants is to be at home. Amy is the
youngest sister. She is a selfish, pretty little artist who often fights with Jo. At the end of Little Women, Meg
is engaged to Laurie's tutor John Brooke; Beth has recovered from a terrible illness she contracted from helping a poor,
starving family; Jo wants to write a great novel; and Amy is growing less selfish and more womanly every day. In addition,
their father has come home from war.
