HTML:<p><b>Four young Black sisters come of age during the American Civil War in <i>So Many Beginnings,</i> a warm and powerful YA remix of the classic novel <i>Little Women</i>, by national bestselling author Bethany C. Morrow.<br /> North Carolina, 1863</b>. 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:<br /> Meg, a teacher who longs to find love and start a family of her own.<br /> Jo, a writer whose words are too powerful to be contained.<br /> Beth, a talented seamstress searching for a higher purpose.<br /> Amy, a dancer eager to explore life outside her family's home.<br /> 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.<br /> <b><br /> Praise for <i>So Many Beginnings: A Little Women Remix<br /></i></b><br /> "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 <b>flawless</b>. That she has remixed a canonical text to do so only <b>further illuminates the need to critically question who holds the pen in telling our nation's story</b>." —<i>Booklist</i>, <b>starred review</b><br /> "<b>Bethany C. Morrow's prose is a sharpened blade in a practiced hand, cutting to the core of our nation's history.</b> <i>...</i> <b>A devastatingly precise reimagining and a joyful celebration of sisterhood.</b> A narrative about four young women who unreservedly deserve the world, and <b>a balm for wounds to Black lives and liberty</b>." —Tracy Deonn, <i>New York Times-</i>bestselling author of <i>Legendborn<br /></i>"A <b>tender and beautiful</b> retelling that <b>will make you fall in love with the foursome all over again</b>." —Tiffany D.
