“From heartbreak to success and achievement, Stratton creates a warm story that flows between family affairs and the broader world at large. This second volume represents a story that is not only a worthy follow-up to the first, but in keeping with the evolutionary process of young women entering the world beyond their immediate family. Women’s fiction readers, particularly those who enjoyed the closeness of Alcott's little women, will find their contemporary parallels just as inviting.”
