Summary:
"We all know the story of the March sisters, heroines of
Louisa
May
Alcott
's
Little
Women
. But while everyone cheers on Jo March, based on
Louisa
herself, Amy March is often the least favorite sister. Now it's time to learn the truth about the real Amy,
Louisa
's sister,
May
. Stylish, outgoing, creative,
May
Alcott
grows up longing to experience the wide world beyond Concord, Massachusetts. 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. Life for the
Alcott
family has never been easy, so when
Louisa
's
Little
Women
is published, its success eases the financial burdens they've faced for so many years. Everyone agrees the novel is charming, but
May
is struck to the core by the portrayal of selfish, spoiled Amy March. Is this what her beloved sister really thinks of her? So
May
embarks on a quest to discover her own true identity, as an artist and a woman. From Boston to Rome, London, and Paris, this brave, talented, and determined woman forges an amazing life of her own, making her so much more than merely The Other
