Summary:
War is raging in the South, but in Concord, Massachusetts, Margaret March has her own battles to fight. With her husband serving as an army chaplain, the comfort and security of Margaret's four daughters - Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy - now rest on her shoulders alone. Money is tight, and every month her husband sends less and less of his salary, with no explanation. Worst of all, Margaret harbors the secret that these financial hardships are largely her fault, thanks to a disastrous mistake made more than a decade ago that wiped out her family's fortune and snatched away her daughters' chances for the educations they deserve. Yet even with all that weights upon her, Margaret longs to do more - for the war effort, for the poor, for the cause of abolition, and most of all, for her daughters. Living by her watchwords, "Hope and keep busy," she fills her days with charity work to keep her worries at bay. All that is interrupted when Margaret receives a telegram from the War Department, summoning her to her husband's bedside in Washington, D.C. But the tragedy that ultimately strikes is one that Margaret never thought to brace for, one that will bring her face-to-face with the cost of her own generosity for years to come.
