A contemporary twist on the well-loved classic, Little Women, readers will fall in love with the Martin family-Maggie, Josie, Lizzie, Bronson, Amie, and their mother Hannah-each trying to find their own way in the world and discovering that love, home, and hope, are closer than they appear.
There are many ways Josie Martin pictured coming home to her family-pregnant and alone wasn't one of them.
Ashamed of being duped by her handsome psychology professor, Josie returns to Maine too proud to admit her foolishness to those closest to her. As the one-year anniversary of her father's death approaches, she seeks solace in an old friend, Tripp Colton, and a new business venture that will prove to herself and her loved ones that she is still capable of success despite her overwhelming failure.
Josie shatters her family's expectations when she announces she will not return to school to finish her graduate degree, but instead wishes to help her mother achieve a lifelong dream. Soon, the entire family gets behind her idea to open and run a bed and breakfast inspired by Louisa May Alcott's Orchard House. Even Tripp is excited to restore Josie's great aunt's Victorian home for the purpose, but when Josie's secret is finally revealed, it creates an insurmountable rift that threatens their friendship.
As summer gives way to fall, Josie struggles under the weight of her decision regarding her child's welfare, an unexpected visit from the baby's father, and her feelings for Tripp. When the opportunity for grace comes along, will she take it? Or will her worth forever be tied to her failures?
