The Masters, retired professors, have a minor disagreement: Jo Anne wishes Ike, her husband of 42 years, to write an autobiography. Ike balks and questions her motives for suggesting it. To bolster her case, Jo Anne recommends ghost writer Amy Donovan to help. Ike agrees, discovers Amy to be a former student, and accepts her advice to explore his epiphanies. However, at their second meeting, Amy ignites fireworks when she mentions the name Mel White. Ike blanches. Jo Anne seethes. And Amy puzzles. From there, Ikepursues the autobiography to please his wife. Amy investigates Melanie and the careers of Jo Anne and Ike. Jo Anne rehashes the major crises of her life: her sublimated career, her miscarriage, the still-birth of her only son Julius, and Ike's affair with Melanie. But, Jo Anne concludes her real angst comes from three sins kept secret for fifty years that if confessed will likely kill her marriage.

A reimagining of Little Women set in 1942, when the United States is suddenly embroiled in the second World War, this story, told from each March sister's point of view, is one of grief, love, and self-discovery. In the fall of 1942, the United States is still reeling from the attack on Pearl Harbor. While the US starts sending troops to the front, the March family of Concord, Massachusetts grieves their own enormous loss: the death of their daughter, Beth. Under the strain of their grief, Beth's remaining sisters fracture, each going their own way with Jo nursing her wounds and building planes in Connecticut, Meg holding down the home front with Marmee, and Amy living a secret life as a Red Cross volunteer in London--the same city where one Mr. Theodore Laurence is stationed as an army pilot. Each March sister's point of view is written by a separate author, three in prose and Beth's in verse, still holding the family together from beyond the grave. Woven together, these threads tell a story of finding one's way in a world undergoing catastrophic change.
