When shy, stuttering Susan makes friends with Louisa May Alcott and the other residents of Fruitlands, she blossoms, even though she disagrees with some of their experiments in communal living. Drawing from available facts about the Alcott family and the short time they actually spent on the farm, Klass has created an entertaining and believable novel starring both fictional and historical characters.
