Jo March desperately wants to be a writer – an unusual dream for a teenage girl in 1860s Massachusetts.
With her father away during the Civil War, Jo and sisters Meg, Beth and Amy remain at home with their mother Marmee, joyful and dutiful despite their modest circumstances.
As time passes, the women in the family grow ever closer as they navigate love, loss and new beginnings.
