"This is a great way to awaken the "artist" in each of us. It is best if read and done as a group of those whom you can feel comfortable with. There is a website that goes with this book and is a really good companion.

The study takes timw and the morning pages are really important, but worth the time involved."

"This is the third book in the series about Lousia May Alcott. These are set in the time before she wrote "Little Women". The way they lived, with little money and the interesting adventures she had during her youth. The relationships with other notables of that day and how the writing of stories and sewing helped to provide for her and the Alcott family in those lean times. I wish Anna Maclean would write another in the series."

"What a great book and series. The characters are well developed , believable and interact well. My only complaint is that her books are hard to get. I have read everyone in the series through this one and am having trouble getting the next one.

Her care in presenting the southern Norht Carolina area and its historical places is really good and interesting."

"Good series and well written characters. I appriciate more the freedom women have gained since the 1890s, after reading these books.

I checked out some of the facts about the time period in which the book was written and found that the author has really done a lot of research and been careful to portray things as they were in 1895-97.


I'm looking forward to reading the next one in the series."
