A revealing retelling of Louisa May Alcott's beloved "Little Women" from the perspective of Margaret "Marmee" March. In 1861, war is raging in the South, but in Concord, Massachusetts, Margaret March has her own battles to fight. With her husband serving as an army chaplain, the comfort and security of Margaret's four daughters - Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy - now rest on her shoulders alone. Yet even with all that weighs upon her, Margaret longs to do more - for the war effort, for the poor, for the cause of abolition, and most of all, for her daughters.
