This charming book by Louisa May Alcott is as endearing as always - almost like coming home to a crackly fire and gooey chocolate chip cookies. Alcott will always be one of my favorite authors and I think she does a beautiful job in this book. Timid and weak Rose comes to live at the "Aunt Hill," affectionately nicknamed for its tons of aunts. Rose is an orphan accustomed to staying with dainty, polite girls. Will she survive rambunctious boy cousins and an amiable uncle full of bold ideas? With
