So Many Beginnings

By Bethany C. Morrow

Read by Adenrele Ojo

Four young Black sisters come of age during the American Civil War in so many beginnings, a warm and powerful YA remix of the classic novel little women

“Morrow's ability to take the lingering stain of slavery on American history and use it as a catalyst for unbreakable love and resilience is flawless. That she has remixed a canonical text to do so only further illuminates the need to critically question who holds the pen in telling our nation's story.”
