Life for the Alcott family has never been easy, so when Louisa's Little Women is published, its success eases the financial burdens they'd faced for so many years. While her sister Louisa crafts stories, May herself is a talented and dedicated artist, taking lessons in Boston, turning down a marriage proposal from a well-off suitor, and facing scorn for entering what is very much a man's profession. Stylish, outgoing, creative, May Alcott grows up longing to experience the wide world beyond Concord, Massachusetts. Now, it's time to learn the truth about the real "Amy", Louisa's sister, May. But while everyone cheers on Jo March, based on Louisa herself, Amy March is often the least favorite sister. We all know the story of the March sisters, heroines of Louisa May Alcott's Little Women. Elise Hooper's debut novel conjures the fascinating, untold story of May Alcott-Louisa's youngest sister and an artist in her own right.
