8. Jo, Meg, Beth, and Amy March are
four sisters living with their mother in
New England. Their father is away serving
as a chaplain in the Civil War, and the
sisters struggle to support themselves and
keep their household running despite the
fact that the family recently lost its
fortune. In the process, they become
close friends with their wealthy neighbor,
Theodore Laurence, known as "Laurie."

9. As the girls grow older, each
faces her own personal demons and
moral challenges. Jo, our beloved
protagonist, must tame her
tomboyish ways and learn to be more
ladylike while pursuing her ambition
to be a great writer. Meg, the oldest,
must put aside her love of wealth and
finery in order to follow her heart.

10. Beth, the shy one, must
conquer her bashfulness, while
Amy, the youngest, has to
sacrifice her aristocratic pride.
The girls are guided in their
personal growth by their
mother, "Marmee," and by their
religious faith.

11. The family's tight bonds are forever
changed when Meg falls in love with John
Brooke, Laurie's tutor. Meg and John
marry and begin a home of their own,
quickly populated by twins Daisy and
Demi. Another marriage seems imminent
when Laurie reveals to Jo that he has
fallen in love with her, but she declares
that she cannot care for him in the same
way.

12. Jo goes to New York as the
governess for a family friend, Mrs.
Kirke, experiencing the big city and
trying her hand as a professional
writer. Meanwhile, Amy travels
through Europe with her wealthy Aunt
Carroll and cousin Flo, nurturing her
artistic talent. Separately, Laurie goes
to Europe accompanied by his
grandfather. He pursues his passion for
music and tries to forget Jo.

13. While in New York, Jo meets
German expatriate Professor Bhaer,
whose intellect and strong moral
nature spark her interest. Across the
Atlantic, Laurie and Amy discover
that they lack the genius to be great
artists, but that they make an
excellent romantic pairing.

14. When Beth, who has never
been strong, dies young, the
sorrow of their loss solidifies
Amy's bond to Laurie. Back in
the States, Jo returns home to
care for her bereaved parents
and learns to embrace her
domestic side.

15. All the loose ends are tied up as Jo
and Professor Bhaer marry and start a
boarding school for boys, while Amy and
Laurie marry and use the Laurence
family wealth to support struggling young
artists. The Brooke, Bhaer, and Laurence
households flourish, and the novel ends
with a birthday party for Marmee,
celebrating the extended March family
connections and the progress of Jo's
boarding school, Plumfield.
