Praise
A fresh and free-flowing character study of ‘a real-life heroine.’. . . A grand tale for present fans and future ones, too.
—Kirkus Reviews
Rosenberg’s insights into [Alcott’s] parents, her sisters, her unconventional upbringing, and the family dynamics are crucial to understanding the woman she became and the decisions she made along the way. An informative, thought-provoking biography.
—Booklist
Engrossing. . . there’s plenty of intriguing detail of a dysfunctional upbringing, of the rampant effects of mercury poisoning contracted, and of the tantalizing hints of a brief but scandalous Paris liaison.
—The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
