The beloved March girls—beautiful Meg, tomboy Jo, kind and gentle Beth, and spunky Amy—come alive in this manga-style retelling of Little Women. With their country embroiled in war and their father far from home, the four sisters find themselves thrust into new and trying situations, and with little money and a hard winter ahead, they must learn to adapt. In the year that follows, the girls learn about compassion, sacrifice, love, and more about themselves and each other than they ever imagined.
