this rich retelling of the beloved classic.”

ABOUT MEG AND JO:
The March sisters--reliable Meg, independent Jo, stylish Amy and shy Beth--have grown up to pursue their separate dreams.
When Jo followed her ambitions to New York City, she never thought her career in journalism would come crashing down, leaving her struggling to stay afloat in a gig economy as a prep cook-slash-secret food blogger.
Meg appears to have the life she always planned--the handsome husband, the adorable toddlers, the house in a charming subdivision. But sometimes getting everything you ever wanted isn't all it's cracked up to be.
When their mother's illness forces the sisters home to North Carolina for the holidays, they'll rediscover what really matters.
One thing's for sure--they'll need the strength of family and the power of sisterhood to remake their lives and re-imagine their dreams.
