In the background of the American Civil War, author Bethany C. Morrow takes readers to Freedmen's Colony of Roanoke Island. Morrow's lush world building and character immersement takes Louisa May Alcott's beloved world of Little Women and weaves a timeless story of family, sisterhood, and strength during trying times. The unfolding story with the March family paired with Morrow's dedication to conveying parts of history altogether create an absolutely breathtaking story that readers will find comfort, and love, in 2021.

Book Description:
Four young Black sisters come of age during the American Civil War in So Many Beginnings, a warm and powerful YA remix of the classic novel Little Women by national bestselling author Bethany C. Morrow.
North Carolina, 1863. As the American Civil War rages on, the Freedmen'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.
