In Little Women, Little Men, and other beloved books, Louisa May Alcott recounted the triumphs and tragedies of the March sisters. Jo’s Boys is a sequel, published some years later, that continues the heartwarming story, depicting the careers and marriages of the sisters’ children and their schoolmates.
Jo, the irrepressible heroine of Little Women and later the maternal Mrs. Bhaer in Little Men, now welcomes her former students back to Plumfield, and enjoys their reunion with the young ladies of the March clan.
