Set in Christmastime 1863 during the Civil War, a young family survives as best they can in an environment lacking a Father's guidance and income.
The original novel followed the lives of four sisters – Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy March – and is loosely based on the author's childhood experiences with her three sisters.
This charming and heartwarming story of the 'true' heart of this chapter of our history teaches us a liitle of the desperate times our young nation endured. This adaption concentrates on those hardships and the loss and the desperate poverty that were a reality for so many who's story has rarely been told and so very rarely told so well.
