"Three years from Little Women, the four March girls have developed into young adults, with their eyes directed towards the future. Meg embarks on wedded life with the carefree optimism of a new bride, yet all is not plain sailing. Aided by her mother's firm but gentle guidance and the harsh lessons which experience brings, Meg struggles towards the the goals of blissful marriage and motherhood. Meanwhile, her sister Jo dons the 'scribbling suits' and again tries for success in writing, but the young 'my lady' Amy discovers greater gifts than art in her travels abroad. Only the meek little Beth has no ambition beyond her home comforts and, though her burden is heaviest of all, she too discovers peace at last."
