The Spring Girls: A Modern-Day Retelling of Little Women

A modern retelling of Little Women, this contemporary romance reimagines Louisa May Alcott’s beloved classic through the lives of four sisters coming of age on a New Orleans military base.

The Spring sisters—Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy—are inseparable, fiercely loyal, and determined to build futures that rise beyond their modest circumstances. With their father deployed overseas and their mother harboring a secret of her own, the sisters face a year that will test their ambitions, relationships, and sense of self.

Meg, the eldest, dreams of becoming an officer’s wife and entering military society—if her passion and reputation don’t get in the way. Beth, the quiet backbone of the family, struggles with fear and isolation, unsure how to step beyond the safety of home. Jo longs to escape entirely, setting her sights on New York City and a journalism career that will let her change the world, even if love threatens to slow her down. And Amy, the youngest, watches and learns from her sisters’ triumphs and mistakes, shaping her own path in their shadow.

With romance, drama, and plenty of sass, this fresh, emotionally charged novel brings the themes of love, war, class, ambition, and family into the language of the 21st century—offering a bold, contemporary take on a timeless story.
