Will they learn to use their gifts wisely and well? Can they turn their challenges and fears into success and happiness? And will they find the strength, courage, passion, and hope within themselves to make their dreams a reality? --From the Publisher Louisa May Alcott (November 29, 1832 March 6, 1888) was an American novelist and poet best known as the author of the novel Little Women (1868) and its sequels Little Men (1871) and Jo s Boys (1886).
