This is a great way to awaken the "artist" in each of us. It is best if read and done as a group of those whom you can feel comfortable with. There is a website that goes with this book and is a really good companion.

The study takes timw and the morning pages are really important, but worth the time involved.

This is the third book in the series about Lousia May Alcott. These are set in the time before she wrote "Little Women". The way they lived, with little money and the interesting adventures she had during her youth. The relationships with other notables of that day and how the writing of stories and sewing helped to provide for her and the Alcott family in those lean times. I wish Anna Maclean would write another in the series.
