“Louisa May Alcott: Her Life, Letters, and Journals” is an insightful exploration into the life and mind of one of Americas most cherished 19th-century writers.

This biography masterfully interweaves Alcotts personal writings, ranging from her reflective journal entries to her concise and impactful letters.
