I loved all of Alcotts books in my younger days, including this one. From the back of the book:

Orphaned Rose Campbell can't bear the thought of one more dreary day at boarding school. With nowhere else to go, she arrives at the 'Aunt Hill' to live with her six aunts and seven boy cousins.

As in her other books, Louisa May Alcott describes American life after the Civil War. These long ago times are as alive as ever for today's readers, who will delight in this cheerful tale.
