Jo & Laurie: A Romantic Retelling of Little Women

Bestselling authors Margaret Stohl and Melissa de la Cruz bring us a romantic retelling of Little Women starring Jo March and her best friend, the boy next door, Theodore "Laurie" Laurence.

Set in 1869 Concord, Massachusetts, this captivating novel follows Jo March after the publication of her first novel. Shocked to discover her book of scribbles has become a bestseller, Jo faces pressure from her publisher and fans demanding a sequel. Seeking inspiration, she travels to New York with her dear friend Laurie for a week filled with museums, operas, and a once-in-a-lifetime reading by Charles Dickens himself.

While Jo searches for her next story, Laurie has romance on his mind. Despite her growing feelings, Jo's fierce desire to remain independent leads her to turn down his heartfelt marriage proposal, sending the heartbroken boy off to college. When Laurie returns to Concord with a sophisticated new girlfriend, Jo must decide whether to finally communicate her true heart's desire or lose the love of her life forever.
