Anna Bronson Alcott has always been the hidden figure behind her famous sister, Louisa May Alcott. Now she is given her own voice in this work of literary fiction, with the use of historic letters, diaries and books written by her, other family members and the Lenox ladies as the factual basis of the story.
In a life reimagined, she is first met when she goes to Lenox in the heart of the Berkshires, Massachusetts (she did in fact go in 1850), where she meets three extraordinary women: Caroline Sturgis Tappan, Fanny Kemble and Catharine Maria Sedgwick. The story builds around her life, detailing her life as an Alcott girl, Meg in Little Women, and intertwining creatively with the lives of the Lenox ladies, influencers of their time.
