The sequel to Eight Cousins, Rose in Bloom is a refreshing look at a young woman who must determine her place in the adult world. Upon her return from traveling around the world, Rose is greeted by her six male cousins - all of whom show affection for her. They are surprised that the feisty and fun girl who left two years ago has "bloomed" into a beautiful, generous, and prudent young lady. Not one to marry without being in love, Rose is determined to prove herself as an independent woman. Unfortunately, the wealth that she has inherited has attracted more friends and followers than she bargained for. With no honest friends to turn to and numerous men trying to court her, can Rose still be true to her ideal? Louisa May Alcott's spirited writing has captivated readers for generations. As she states in her preface, "There is no moral to this story...It was written hoping to afford a helpful hint to other roses getting ready to bloom." Louisa May Alcott lived with the real Little Women in Concord, Massachusetts. The author of mysteries, romances, and novels, she traveled widely and died in Boston in 1888.
