So Many Beginnings:
A Little Women Remix
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 in this warm and powerful YA remix of the classic novel Little Women, by national bestselling author Bethany C. Morrow.
Praise for So Many Beginnings
"Bethany C. Morrow's prose is a sharpened blade in a practiced hand, cutting to the core of our nation's history. So Many Beginnings' reckonings with race reverberate across time to challenge not just the stories we've been told, but the voices who have told them. 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
“The most brilliant retelling of Little Women I have ever encountered.”
—Ebony Elizabeth Thomas, World Fantasy Award–winning author of The Dark Fantastic: Race and the Imagination from Harry Potter to The Hunger Games
"Tender and beautiful . . . 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
"Bethany C. Morrow is reinvigorating the canon one book at a time . . . This remix is a hit."
—Leah Johnson, bestselling author of You Should See Me in a Crown
“So Many Beginnings may call itself a Little Women remix, but it’s a Little Women revelation.”
—Emma Lord, New York Times–bestselling author of You Have a Match and Tweet Cute
"Morrow makes it impossible not to fall in love with the March family all over again."
—Laura E. Weymouth, author of The Light Between Worlds
"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."
