Three Little Women: A Story for Girls

A brisk, rain‑soaked afternoon in the bustling town of Riveredge sets the stage for the lively Carruth household. Ten‑year‑old Jean, the youngest of three sisters, bursts with energy and curiosity, demanding a chance to escape the dreary weather and visit a sick friend. Her older sisters, Constance and Eleanor, balance patience with gentle teasing as they try to keep the household’s routine intact while their mother prepares for a move to a girls’ college in Iowa.

The narrative captures the everyday struggles and small triumphs of sisterly life—hand‑sewn hats, French Revolution lessons, and the simple joy of splashing through puddles in rubber boots. As Jean’s spirited determination pushes the boundaries of her sheltered world, readers are invited to share in the warmth, humor, and budding independence that define the girls’ early adventures together.
