Becoming Little Women: Louisa May at Fruitlands

202 pp. | Putnam | October, 2001 | Trade ISBN 0-399-23619-8 $$16.99
(2) 4-6 All eleven-year-old Lousia May wants is a happy family. That goal becomes increasingly difficult at Fruitlands, the farm her father brings the family to in order to realize his utopian goal of living in harmony with nature and with one another. Atkins puts Louisa at the center of the strains on her family. Her salvation is her journal, on which Atkins bases much of this well-researched historical novel.
