Description
Jo Porter has had enough of living in the shadow of her literary namesake. Her family's old house has been transformed into a tourist attraction, with Jo and her siblings forced to act out sentimental moments from Little Women for the entertainment of visitors. But when a photojournalist arrives to document their summer performances, Jo sees an opportunity to escape the monotony of her life. As she gets to know the reporter and his teenage son, Jo begins to crave a sense of freedom and adventure that goes beyond the confines of her family's business. But when she lets her guard down and reveals her true feelings, Jo must confront the possibility that her livelihood may be at risk. Will she find a way to make peace with her past and forge a new path forward? This novel is a sharp and subversive take on the classic Little Women story, offering a fresh perspective on family, identity, and the complexities of growing up.
