Description
Book Synopsis: In the Remixed Classics series, authors from marginalized backgrounds reinterpret classic works through their own cultural lens to subvert the overwhelming cishet, white, and male canon. This powerful Little Women remix follows four young Black sisters coming of age during the American Civil War, reframing a much-beloved tale outside of its original, exclusively lily-white perspective.
North Carolina, 1863. As the American Civil War rages on, the Freedpeople's Colony of Roanoke Island is blossoming, a haven for the recently emancipated. Black people have begun building a community of their own, a refuge from the shadow of the "old life." It is where the March family has finally been able to safely put down roots with four young daughters:
- Meg, a teacher who longs to find love and start a family of her own.
- Jo, a writer whose words are too powerful to be contained.
- Beth, a talented seamstress searching for a higher purpose.
- Amy, a dancer eager to explore life outside her family's home.
As the four March sisters come into their own as independent young women, they will face first love, health struggles, heartbreak, and new horizons. But they will face it all together.
Praise for So Many Beginnings:
“Morrow’s ability to take the lingering stain of slavery on American history and use it as a catalyst for unbreakable love and resilience is flawless. That she has remixed a canonical text to do so only further illuminates the need to critically question who holds the pen in telling our nation’s story.” —Booklist, starred review
“Bethany C. Morrow's prose is a sharpened blade in a practiced hand, cutting to the core of our nation's history. ... A devastatingly precise reimagining and a joyful celebration of sisterhood. A narrative about four young women who unreservedly deserve the world, and a balm for wounds to Black lives and liberty.” —Tracy Deonn, New York Times-bestselling author of Legendborn
“A tender and beautiful retelling that will make you fall in love with the foursome all over again.” —Tiffany D. Jackson, New York Times-bestselling author of White Smoke and Grown
