I chose to include this novel as my last choice because when I was young adult teen, it was my favorite novel and I do feel like every teen girl can find inspiration through one if not ALL of the March sisters!
Little Woman follows the journey of four sisters, throughout the course of their lives. The book is narrated through Jo March (my favorite sister) and highlights the lives of Amy, Beth and Meg March, as well. The book highlights all aspects of life from poverty, to lessons learned, to falling in love and most importantly, the value of family. It also deals with death and the twist and turns that life can take. Primarily the novel follows each girl on their individual adventures through life. Jo becomes a writer, Beth becomes ill and dies, Amy surprisingly marries Laurie (a close family friend) and Meg, the oldest sister, marries Mr. Brooke and lives happily ever after. The girls carry through life guided by the principles Marmee (their mother) has taught them and inevitability find their own individual recipes of happiness!
I love that you included this story because I feel the same way. It is an inspiration of all sorts falling the March sisters as they grow. They start younger and grow throughout the story. They cross many milestones through the story which younger females can relate too in some way or another.
