Some stories don't age — they evolve. Little Women is not just a novel about four sisters; it's about growing up in a world that doesn't wait for anyone.

She wrote what she saw — and what she dreamed could be better. Her heroines don't need rescuing; they make choices, break molds, and leave footprints. You might recognize them. You might be one of them. This is not a story frozen in time.

Three centuries ago Jane Austen gave the world books about the culture of her time. Probably the best known was Pride and Prejudice, which was so loved that at least five films were made about Elizabeth Bennett and Mr. Darcy. Miss Austen's book ended with their marriage.Since then, people have written countless versions of those characters. I prefer to do a tribute to Jane Austen using her same characters continuing after the honeymoon, never distorting their true personalites and families that were molded so lovingly by the author. They are what Austen fans around the world have read and ...
